They say - write about what you know, and Hellenga knows Italy especially Florence. He also knows a little about antique books. This background forms the framework for the plot -a 29 year old female American book conservator who goes to Florence and comes across a treasure in a convent - an antique lost erotic work. The story is a bit incredulous but is well done.
The author is male but writes in the first person as the female protagonist quite realistically. There is considerable erotic content but this is not a"sex" book per se. In fact, I would say this book rises to the level of "literature".
