I suspect I'd prefer it in the original Italian!

As you read Italian well enough, you just might. My Italian is not strong enough to make it possible to read for pleasure. I've put the link to his web page below, if you are interested in getting more info about him.

By one of those strange coincidences that seem to happen to me, I won a copy of his earlier English translated book, Blood Sisters. As I remember, I was quite tart about the translation, which I remember as annoying. The one here really is very good - for a translation.

Thanks!

I always prefer to read anything Italian or French in the original where possible.

My friend Nathalie http://spacedlaw.livejournal.com is the same. But then, she can, being French, living in Italy.

I am learning Italian - I think I don't know enough yet to read novels, but I will put this on the list for when I do.

good luck with your studies. I've got to the level of reading recipes and newspaper articles in Italian, but fiction remains beyond my reach.
