There are a couple of descriptions that use anachronisms and the first one I came across really jarred me because it was so out of place but the second one convinced me I was in the hands of a master. It got me interested enough in the Risorgimento to go and read about Garibaldi who was a truly strange person. Two reading suggestions oh falsely accused book thief: In the empire of Genghis Khan : a journey among nomads -- Stanley Stewart. Truly wonderful book about a journey via horse across Mongolia from west to east. The Yiddish Policeman's Union -- Michael Chabon. An amazing noir/alternate history/exploration of the soul. Substantial and a page turner at the same time. Try not to have too much fun while you are there. Some of us are envious enough. One of my all time faves.
