Piece Out Of Books Lunch with Mussolini (Lunch with... #2)

The second 'Lunch with' I have read and both were just fantastic reads.

As a Hanson fan this one still delivered a good well written story

Wow. I finished this book days ago and have started another. But Im still thinking about it. I learnt so much. This is from the German and Italian perspectives. Beautifully written.

It's a tad bit over-written, the stories are told by a group of guys who swap tales over lunch. I found myself skimming the narrator's part to get back to the story. Still a worthwhile read.

Derek Hansen is a master of fiction. How this book has not received more reviews is beyond me. He tells his story through the mouth of Lucio, one of five older men who meet at Gancios restaurant every Thursday. Its Lucios turn to narrate a story but this story proves to be the most challenging of his and their lives. Hansen is impeccable and masterful as he weaves his magic making this book one that is truly impossible to put down.There are a vast number of characters dispersed between the

Another brilliant lunch date with these five (Gancio became one of the group in this book) gentlemen. Centres around Hitler's assault on the world with an Italian twist, hence Mussolini and fascism play a strong role. You get to experience history from inside the Italian north at this time and what the partisans were doing for the war effort. The story then reveals a modern day dilemma that gets more intriguing as you read. You can tell these books are so well researched and the writing is

I loved this. Stories within stories. Complex and engrossing. Highly receommended.
