If you love happy
endings and total resolution in your reading matter, this one's for you. A
wonderful story beginning in 1962 Italy and including Liz and Dick and the
filming of Cleopatra. Wonderful characters, solid story. The chapter that
is the beginning of a character's book is poignant. Try it, you'll be pleased.
