A dense historical novel that maybe goes on a bit too long, it's a fascinating look at a familial structure in Italy. This book is a time investment, but it's worth it. Just... don't think too much about the details Grazia lays bare for her son in this missive.

I bought this book a couple of years ago when I was reading on the Renaissance all year. Daedalus offered it, so I figured it was worth a try. It sort of was. It's certainly full of historical information, in a novelized form. And that's why I didn't finish it. I like my history "straight". But I'm weird that way.
