A beautifully written, lyrical book...i.e., this description of Pisa....."It is with a peculiar charm and sweetness that Pisa offers herself to the stranger....she is full of the sun; she has the gift of silence.....In her palaces the great mirrors are still filled with the ghosts of the eighteenth century."
