A lot of people love this book and I enjoyed it as the story carries you along easily from East London to Florence and back over 50 years. However, for me, a lot of the characters seemed lacking in depth but maybe because there is such a lot going on. I was fond of the hero, Ulysses, and there is a lot of historical ground from the War to almost modern day and the descriptions of Florence and the food kept me going.
