A gentle
story of Julia Garnet, a retired teacher, and her transformation in old
age when she moves to Venice for six months following the death of her
life-long friend.
Good points
I liked the interlinking story of Tobias and the Angel.
A story with many layers.
Middle-aged single women may recognise bits of themselves in the main character
Bad points:
Often characters serving the plot popped up rather too conveniently.
I found some of the characters in the novel slightly unconvincing - the twins restoring the church and the older would be lover fancying the younger pupil
