Rococo by Adriana Trigiani
Makeover specialist Bartolomeo Di Crespi is all his name suggests - stylish, sophisticated, a legend in his own time. From the Mediterranean to Manhattan his taste reigns supreme. When the renovation of his hometown church comes up for tender, Bortolemeo assumes only he can do justice to the task ahead. But the local pastor, Father Porporino, for reasons of his own, has other ideas. Delightful, captivating, hilarious, bursting with effervescent life, as fanciful as flocked wallpaper, Roccoco is a comic masterpiece with a heart of gold. Once more Adriana Trigiani's takes us into an enchanting world which she has made her own - peopled by unforgettable characters that will live forever.
