I'm not really sure how I felt about this book. I liked the story, but I thought it was very underdeveloped. Also underdeveloped were the characters. I didn't feel like I got to know wny of them, including the protagonist, Lara. The ending managed to be abrupt and too tidy, all at the same time.

Too Freudian for me. Can't fault her, just not my cup of tea.

Very well written novel of a girls discovery of adulthood in the rolling Italian hills of Tuscany. On the cover of the book Marie Claire said that it was 'Deliciously unsettling' however the rape scene did not really seem to effect the rest of the novel, and I found it was more about Lara's relationship with Kip, which did not seem very believable. Criticisms aside a very enjoyable read, which made me long to travel to Italy.
