Really very good, this is my first Marian Keyes but I don't think it will be my last. Nicely told with complex characters and a surprising amount of subplot that all comes together in the end, there was laughter and there was tears. A very well crafted tale.

Alexia Tarabotti is not the proper Victorian Englishwoman. She is well read, opinionated, half-Italian, unmarried, and she uses her parasol as a weapon. And that's not the worst: she's preternatural, that is, she can turn a vampire or werewolf into a normal human while she is in physical contact...

Not a romance novel, which the title might lead you to believe, but a beautiful Japanese novel that may teach you a thing or two about math.
