The new book by master Eco is a story of modern Italy seen through the eyes of the main characters and the newspaper they work for. A mix of crime and love story makes this an exceptional novel.
'Eco's novel on post-War Italy inevitably turns into a detective story. But it's one without a culprit: like all the great detective stories of [Italy's] recent history...[which] Eco revisits at high speed in this fast-paced, frequently entertaining novel' La Stampa
'Practically a manual on today's media' Roberto Saviano L'Espresso
