Unto Us a Son is Given - Donna Leon
Publication Date: March 5, 2019
He and she read
Whenever a new Commissario Guido Brunetti novel comes out, I stop everything I am doing to read it. I cannot believe that this the 28th! They are a joy! Donna Leon’s novels contain good writing, colorful character development, piquant observations of life both in general and specific to Venetian society.
I could have easily voraciously devoured this book, finishing it in one day while forsaking all else. However, writing this good should be savored and I tried to take my time, digesting it chapter by chapter.
Travel along with Brunetti past familiar Venetian landmarks, stopping here and there for a coffee, wine, or a meal. Join him as he negotiates the politics and cynicism of the Italian justice system. Visit again with his family and the cast of characters with whom he works. They are all here!
For anyone new to Donna Leon, this certainly can be read as a stand alone, but why deprive yourself? Go back to the beginning of the series and enjoy getting to know all of these memorable characters.
