5/10/2023 0 Comments Juliet a novel anne fortier![]() ![]() ![]() This is a fun novel, a good beach read, featuring Juliet, a young American woman (though born in Italy) who inherits a safety deposit box in Siena, Italy when her godmother passes away. (Unless it's a terrible story but just work with me here.) Read more * Thought the story was more of a three rather than a four but after the book had finished, I found myself missing the characters and wondering what they were up to - so obviously, the book left an impression on me and that my friend, is the mark of a well executed work. * Juliet, who doesn't know Italian, was able to read an Italian manuscript - her knowledge of Italian comes and goes as the story progresses and gets a bit annoying ![]() * Thoroughly research of the Middle Ages. * The romance was kind of predictable which since this is a metaliterature of Romeo and Juliet, we shouldn't be surprised but honestly? I wanted the author to give us something a bit more challenging. With that being said, it should be obvious at times the book got a bit messy. ![]() * I enjoyed the hidden summaries that were preceded by, "So let me get this straight." as the book sometimes got a bit off course and those hidden summaries righted you on the path again. * The story, which takes place mainly in Sienna, Italy, is so atmospheric and descriptive, I feel as if I know the city by heart I'm just going to input my notes rather than some kind of cohesive review: ![]()
