But there is one incredibly brutal scene with the Italian fascists that I still can't get out of my head. It's written about so dispassionately and matter of factly... I literally had to walk away for a few minutes. Thanks for stopping by, Amy. There are some very good moments in this, but overall it just felt a little uneven and unbalanced.

I'm still hoping to read this book soon, and I'm interested to see if I have the same issues with it that you did. Hmm…. great review, it gave me a lot to think about.
