This took me way too long to read, but ultimately I enjoyed it. The descriptions of San Salvatore are gorgeous. The characters are charming and quite funny (“she wouldn't be silly; she would think of the poor; the thought of them always brought her down to sobriety at once”). I enjoyed the getting to Italy and then once all the extra people arrived; I got bogged down in the middle and that's what took forever to read. Really enjoyable overall.
Such a wonderful, soft, and soothing reading experience. Now I absolutely want to see the movie
I loved the movie. The movie sticks pretty close to the book.
One of the rare books where I liked the movie a bit better than the book.
