An Italian Education by Tim Parks

THE BOOK: 'When Tim Parks' Italian Neighbours came out in 1992, I was living in Italy. That made me miss it, but also qualified me to judge this sequel So let me tell you: it is spot on- a very accurate, very entertaining and at the same time rather profound book. I shall now rush out and buy Italian Neighbours too' The Daily Telegraph.
Tim Parks' previous novels include Tongues of Flame (winner of the Somerset Maugham and Betty Trask Awards), Loving Roger (winner of the John Llwewllyn Rhys Prize), Cara Massimina and Mimi's Ghost.
