Temples of Delight

Summary: Read this gem first, then all her others ASAP!
Review: What could be a better pleasure than finding a modern fairy tale of a very smart book that has sequels, and whose sequels intertwine with other unique but sequalized books by the same genius author? Sure, it is unlikely that so many lives like these should each contain such drama and beauty and then miraculously meet characters from previous books, but what fun, what romanticism! Finally, an intelligent person's serial novel. Is anyone else distracted by the fact that every A-level character ends up at Oxbridge? Can't people go to U of Sheffield or wherever and still be glorious? And why did the Italian branch of the family get such little mention? Or - maybe a new book will address them! Write more, Ms Trapido!
