Just read the first 30 pages and the last 30 pages, the rest is immaterial.

I enjoyed this sweet story. I did not find it drawn-out or slow, and caught on to Atkinson's writing fairly early on. It is an interesting take on cause and effect, life's choices and paths. I also enjoyed the peek into a British family in the 1910-1950s.
Maybe try the audiobook with the wonderful British narrator if reading becomes repetitive.

This book is large and very informative! I thought I was getting a small childs book, but it is more like an encyclopedia. I think it was a lucky find! Great material.

I thought her writing was terrible in this book. She writes better with the diary-style as in Eat, Pray, Love. All the characters felt undeveloped and silly. This was her first novel and it reads like it.

A 20th-century classic set in Rome during the height of Italian Fascism, "The Woman of Rome" tells the stories of Adriana, a young, regretful prostitute, and the men in her life. Moravia, whose works were censored by Mussolini, creates a biting and revealing portrait of Fascist Italy strong on the geography and flavor of Rome. Originally published in 1949.
