Books set in Italy for Italian holiday pleeease?

[RoobyMurray]

I do like to read books set in the country I'm holidaying in, and this time it's Italy

I've done Forster...so, erm Death in Venice? Or is that a bit grim for poolside?

Can anyone suggest anything please?

I loved this book and it made me want to go there so lucky you!

John Mortimer wrote a good one, but I can't remember what on earth it was called!

Summer's Lease

The Flight of the Falcon by Daphne Du Maurier

AdamJohnClarke: a word to the wise, you might get more people to buy your book if you had a different user name and said "oooh I read this marvellous book set in the south of Italy.

HTH.

Bucharest-in-the-south-of-Italy

Hasn't anyone mentioned The Talented Mr Ripley?

Donna Leon's books are set in Venice

Daphne du Maurier's Don't Look Now? Though not a precisely cheerful read. Agree with whoever said The Enchanted April (and it's free on Project Gutenberg if you have a Kindle or suchlike)
