PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Richard Owen was The Times Rome correspondent for fifteen years. He has written several works of non-fiction, including Crisis in the Kremlin and, with Haus, DH Lawrence in Italy and Hemingway in Italy.
‘Very readable and well-paced – covers an amazing amount of ground.’ Marion Turner, author of Chaucer: A European Life ‘A fascinating insight into Chaucer’s world.’ Mary Hollingsworth, author of Princes of the Renaissance ‘Richard Owen performs the remarkable feat of showing us Italy through Chaucer’s eyes. It’s a wonderful evocation of the vibrant intellectual, commercial, and cross-cultural exchanges at the height of the Middle Ages – and the perfect read for a getaway break to Florence, Genoa, or Milan.’ Ross King, author of The Bookseller of Florence ‘Inherently interesting, deftly written, impressively organised and presented.’ Midwest Book Review
