And the person who wrote the blurb deserves a lot of credit for encapsulating the plot so well. I'm just really grateful to them both ;).<br /><br />Maria, I believe it is! To me, it looks just like the northern region around Lake Como, which is one of my favorite places in the world. But you're the expert on Italy!

I love those cover gods...or, rather, goddesses. I don't have the actual cover flap yet -- just the jpeg -- but Kristine Mills-Noble did the other two covers, so she's probably the one who designed this one, too.
