Dazieri's Kill the Father

I'm not sure if we enjoyed this title, but we had a lively discussion about the aspects of the novel we might have changed. Several, including myself, wanted to shorten it by at least 30%. Others wanted Colomba to be at least a little sympathetic. Despite these issues, we slogged our way through! We did appreciate an intricate plot (until it got carried away) and the interplay between Dante and Colomba.

My favorite line: (p. 174 on the mass market paperback edition):
 “Colomba, on the other hand, seemed to be a woman who used her gun for everything, even to open bottles at home.”
