La donna alata

Set in the 17th century, this is the story of Juliette, an acrobat who becomes infatuated with Guy LeMerle, a mysterious, corrupt, possibly deviant, but beautiful young man who manages an outrageous satirical dance troupe from town to town in a plague-torn, volatile France.

Holy Fools / 0-552-77001-9 What happened here? I loved "Chocolat", and I adored "Five Quarters of the Orange". "Holy Fools", however, seems like it came from a completely different author.

Although I really enjoy reading Harris’s works, I’m beginning to wonder if she has something against the Catholic church. In the majority of the books I’ve read written by her, someone or something from the Catholic church ends up being the baddie, and the Church itself is inevitably portrayed as co Leggi tutto

Неожиданно понравилось, хотя уже готовилась разочароваться. Но меня лично очаровала неспокойная атмосфера монастыря – я в целом люблю книги про монахинь, кто разбирается в знаках и символах, скажите, какие есть подводные камни! В этой книге сошлись несколько вещей, которые меня сразу покоряют: монас Leggi tutto
