The third book I read during our visit to Italy was The H-Bomb Girl by Stephen Baxter, which I read mostly in the train from Naples to Florence.
As I wrote when I described my relationship with Timbuktu, I found myself in a bookstore with a very limitted offer of English or Spanish books. I saw one by Baxter and, since I enjoyed his Manifold: Time, I picked it.
It turned out to be light reading, definitely not one of my favorites but entertaining. It makes good Travel Literature, not making you think much but keeping you interested in the development of the story. With this disclaimer, I recommend it.
