Synopsis

The sequel to "Cara Massimina", this novel is a black comedy of self-justification, full of bright Italian colour. Morris can't get over Mimi, but perhaps the dear, dead Mimi can't get over Morris either. He hears her voice and he sees her endlessly reincarnated face in Renaissance madonnas.

Revue de presse

"A twisted whodunit...hilarious" (Financial Times)

"Parks writes with a brutal, snapping wit" (Sunday Times)

"A triumph of the darkly-comic-thriller-and-something-more-besides genre" (Daily Telegraph)

"A sort of twisted whodunnit... The readability of the book comes from Parks’s wonderful and audacious juggling of farcical situations and the way in which Morris’s earnest attempts to build a more cultured and just world lead him further and further into slaughter. Hilarious." (Financial Times)

"Tarantino meets Peter Mayle" (Independent on Sunday)
