It's [set in] a fascinating part of the world; I really appreciate the language and the sense of storytelling.
Are you reading anything else?
The Line of Beauty by Alan Hollinghurst, one of my favorite authors. His first two books were amazing, life-changing books.

I just reread To Kill a Mockingbird. I'd read it in school as a teenager. But it was such a great experience—I was struck by the mix of drama, sadness and humor.
