4.0 out of 5 stars moral dilemmas, January 17, 2005
This review is from: Fatal Remedies (Paperback)
Donna Leon writes mysteries set in Venice. Her themes and plot treatments differ from the run-of-the-mill by their focus on moral dilemmas. In Fatal Remedies, there are several such. Guido's wife Paola has decided to take action against the outrageous sex/travel trade to Asia, which involves the exploitation and abuse of young girls. The means she settles upon are in strong and direct conflict with her husband's career and his need to uphold the law regardless of his personal feelings. Leon explores the nature of their marital relationship and the need of husband and wife to maintain separate identities with the freedom of action that that requires. Guido is a profoundly moral man who understands how to love, in contrast to the popularly accepted image of the Italian male. The solution of this novel's crimes and conflicts is surprising, believable, and anything but trite. Character is what makes Leon's writing so satisfying.
