Beautiful Ruins Q&A

Thank you for the lovely book Beautiful Ruins, It arrived just in time as I had just finished reading another novel. Only read one chapter so far, but it sounds great, so hope to finish it in time to submit a question. Thanks once again.

Thank you for my copy of "Beautiful Ruins". Looking forward to starting it this weekend.

Like many I am part way through Beautiful Ruins. What has particularly Interested me so far is what I have learnt about the effect of the Second World War on Italy. Something I had not thought about before. I have Italian neighbours and I have since discussed this with them and it has led to a very interesting conversation. I liked the use of the'novel' to bring in the detail of the war. I like the way the story is set in two entirly different locations. It took me a while to get into the story but now I am very intrigued/ hooked and wonder where the story will go. I was really pleased to receive the book - thank you.

My copy has arrived - thank you! Looking forward to it!

thankyou so much for my copy I will start reading it as soon as I have finished reading Village Teacher

Just begun reading it, but not far enough in to have an opinion as yet.

Thanks for my copy which I'll take on holiday next week.

BTW I have said thank you on another thread. I wasn't being churlish.

My question is not about the book as I'm going to read it on holiday but about the book cover. I recently met an American who had been asked onto the board of Penguin who recommended several books to me and it struck me that this Penguin book looked distinctly American in style. I can't precisely pinpoint the difference in style but I seem to be able to recognize books bought in Barnes & Noble on my DD's bookshelves from when she has been in NY. Who makes the decision on the cover?

My copy arrived today, thank you, will read it when I finish the one I`m on at the moment.

Thanks for mine too which arrived today

Thank you so much for my copy which arrived this morning. I am looking forward to starting it. I will try to read it more quickly than I usually do so that I can contribute a question
