the city of falling angels – john berendt

4 stars

Just like in his book Midnight in the garden of good and evil John Berendt gives us an impression of a city and its population. This time he picked Venice.
In 1996 the Fenice, opera house of Venice, is burnt to the ground. Berendt hears of this and sets his sails to Italy. In Venice he speaks with people who heard and saw the Fenice in flames and he is very intruiged with their stories. Who set the Fenice on fire and why does it take almost ten years to get the opera house built again?

I felt like writing something and hey…this is the perfect place.

If you are not a big fan of nonfiction – like me – don’t be alarmed by the genre description. It reads like fiction: thriller, drama, wit, you’ll get all and at very high quality at that. You will read like there is no tomorrow. It is a great book!
