This review is from: A Man of Character (Paperback)
In Man of Character, Paola Capriolo maintains the same quality of plotting and prose that she does in Floria Tosca and Woman Watching; that is to say, this book is well worth reading.

In the twin stories of creating and maintaining a garden and of love and human longing, the author presents two approaches to life - that of the observer and that of the dominator - the painter and the engineer.

Despite the philosophical grounding of the book, the book is firmly fixed in narrative - with a very slight misstep in the last few pages where the philosophy slips into preachiness - a very small flaw in a delightful book.
