Kitty and Maria Zuccato are two sisters living in Florence, Italy. The two sisters work as hostesses of the city, and scam the tourists passing through. Maria meets David, who is a man who that is fleeing a past that haunts him, but looking for a new beginning in life. While falling in love with Maria, murder and mystery just seem to follow David. The story is beautifully descriptive of Tuscan scenes and art. Some Tuscan history is also included.That being said - to be quite honest, all the long descriptive passages had me bored out of my skull. The author spent a lot of time going into descriptions of the area, and giving us a lot of history. I wasn't looking for all the history that was included, and the descriptions were a bit excessive. As a result, it lacked in story. I wish more time had been spent on the story line instead of educating me about history and art. I was disappointed, but if you enjoy books with incredible scenic detail, you might enjoy this one.
