@hub3.net>  \nDear Donna,  \nYour book is rivetingI’m already inextricably intertwinedwith all the characters and I'm only on page 87.The careful at-tention to detail that you have demonstrated in your writing isvery rewarding for me as a reader.Also,the hours of researchthat you dedicated to bringing a realistic historical context to thestory are much appreciated.I'm reminded of the \"docudramas”on television.The producers of these historical plays create char-acters who reenact real events or maybe portray real biographi-cal characters.Their stories,and yours,come to life in such apersonal,unforgettable way.History as an enumeration of dryfact after dry fact is so boring!!!I'′m learning so much history re:the culture of the times &places without even realizing that I'mlearning history.  \nYour handling of the rape scene of Paolo &Veronica was per-fect.You portrayed the selfish brutality of Paolo without unneces-sary voyeurism or too many overly degrading details.I previouslydidn't think a rape scene could be both realistic and“sensitive.”  \n-----Original Message------  \nFrom:Gail\u003Cgailss@yahoo.com>To:ronadonatu ronadonatu@aol.com.  \nIt took a chapter to get into the rhythm of it,but that always hap-pens when I read new author,I can't think of anything bad to say.  \nViva La Sposi  \nThe charachters worked,and were believable.It was a very goodbook.I wouldn’t guess it was a first book.I'm looking forwardto the next one.I'll try to get on Amazon to write a‘review'thisweekend.Good luck.  \nGail  \n-----Original Message----
