I didn't like this one either. Just very unoriginal.

Now I've got Lucia by Andrea di Robilant. The blurb reads like fiction, but I snagged it from the biography section of the library. If this is crap I'm going to go on a Jane Austen/Georgette Heyer binge. I've read Nat Geog & the listener & there are no other decent magazines in our lunchroom. & I work with so many smokers now that there is usually hardly anyone in the lunchroom to talk to.
