35. The Sixteen Pleasures

by Robert Hellenga (369 pgs)

A 29 year old conservator finds her life aimless and dull. So when the banks of the Arno river are flooded and the countless treasures of Florence submerged, she packs up her life and heads to Florence to offer her assistance.

This is a fantastic story, although the blurb on the back of the book is pretty misleading. I have already recommended this book to a handful of friends and will probably continue to do so.
