Being Ligurian myself, I found the Annie Hawes writing absolutely amazing as behaviour and characters descriptions: I even often cried thinking of my wonderful County and peoples. Absolutely stunning details and precise stereotypes (British/Ligurians). Brilliant!
Not enough writings...! Only two books to describe a country of so many years of history...? Come on Annie, you could do better...!
Absolutely brilliant writer. Annie Hawes knows perfectly how to enter the intimacy of a Ligurian man (and women as well...!). She did an amazing job in identifying the behaviour of the typical idiosyncratic Ligurian people, as well as the very morbid and romantic side of them. The description of how Frank the Kinfe has been taken to reason on the well issue is a typical Ligurian way to deal with boasters, but also a way to accept them (the horse in the bar...).
So, Annie, when it will be the next book? I am starving here...!
