The book that we recently read and enjoyed is double act which is all about twin sisters who are complety different from one another.They are identical to look at but they have very different personaltes, they like to play tricks on people.There names are Ruby and Garnet, Ruby is the bosy one out of the two of them and Garnet is the shy one.We like Garnet the best because she is very shy and she doesen't bosy you around.

Fiona Pitt-Kethley paints herself as a modern-day, feminist Don Juan, making a carnal tour of Italy's antiquities in the company of beautiful young boy-toys. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Sleazebags take her on trips miles out of her way to places she never wanted to go, "force" her to eat repulsive feasts she never wanted to touch, paw and claw and maul her, demand sex, beg sex, wheedle for sex in return for their attentions. Sometimes she gives in, and the two times she enjoyed herself, she discreetly draws a veil over the scene; the rest of the time, we get accounts of hideous sex in nauseous detail. Never once does she try to speak up for herself or object to what the man is doing unless he's actually trying to rape her. After a while, the accounts of lecherous guides and macho men run into one another, until the book turns into a dreary grey litany of all the ways men can harass women who are too polite to say, "Stop."

Supposedly there's some useful information in here about Classical antiquities, but Pitt-Kethley doesn't consider herself prepared to see the sights until she's picked up a new guide. By the time she reaches anything interesting, she's usually too busy trying to pry his hands off her to notice anything worthwhile. A definite must-miss.

Fiona Pitt-Kethley has a rare talent for bringing the ruins of antiquity to life, allowing us to see them in a completely new light. Moreover, she is endowed with a superior sense of humour, that includes the most difficult one to achieve, self-addressed humour. Someone might be turned off by her declared interest in casual sex (and probably many people cannot yet accept a woman speaking in such terms), but her adventures are always painted with light and humorous brush strokes. And everybody that has been in the scene, knows that, before you meet a prince, you must kiss many frogs. I have greatly appreciated both her descriptions of antiquities, the classical world and of the few things that are known about the Sibyls, as well as her descriptions of many typical italian males (which, being italian myself, I can certify are very much to the point). A highly recommended book, provided you can read between the lines
