Fascinating and clever (despite the irritation of ghostly visits) story of widow and mistress befriending each other. Poignant in places, but never mawkish. Doesn't go for the obvious and easy ending.
Well written, but overrated. Leaves a slightly nasty taste (like Waugh's Handful of Dust). The parallels with the story of Tobit probably work better second time round. Even better if you're familiar with Venice, though I didn't notice the map!
