A House in Sicily
Daphne Phelps' uncle died unexpectedlyand left her a too-big, too-expensivehouse in Sicily. Somehow, Phelpsmanaged to move there anyway andsurvive anyway. Phelps spenta lot of time in the company ofsemi-celebrities of her day andmuch of the book is spent detailinglittle stories about these people.My favorite stories were thosetold about the little people Phelps came to know in Sicily ina chapter called Siciliana.
