so-soI enjoyed some aspects of this book but others really irritated me and I can't quite figure out why! I have an Art History degree, but even I found the descriptions of artworks and Greek myth a bit long winded (if beautifully written). The love scenes were also a bit cringe. Can't quite make my mind up!
pickThis was May's #bookspin pick. It's a literary mystery set in 1958 in Italy and concerns a young academic from England who has been given the opportunity to study a garden. Instead, he finds clues to not one but two murders. It's a book that requires some focus (lots of Greek mythology), but it's also beautifully written. Full review:

The only book I have with garden in the title. Unfortunately, I don't remember this book. Guess it's time for a reread. #gardentitle #aprilbookshowers
