PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Peter Robb has divided his time among Brazil, southern Italy, and Australia for the last quarter century. He is the author of A Death in Brazil and M: The Man Who became Caravaggio, which was a New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year.
A wonderful book, enthrallingly told. -- The Boston Globe <br> <br> Quite simply the best book in English about Italy. -- The Economist <br> <br> Peter Robb presents a labyrinthine tale that brilliantly juxtaposes essays on food and art with historical accounts. --Sandra Mardenfeld, The New York Times Book Review <br> <br> Extraordinary . . . As an introduction to post-war Italy . . . it can have few equals. -- The Times Literary Suplement (London)<br> <br> Robb has written the finest recent book on Sicily. . . . Midnight in Sicily is as exquisitely prodigal as its subject. --Stephen Metcalf, Slate.com
