The Amalfi Curse
by Sarah Penner (Goodreads Author) Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee in Readers' Favorite Historical Fiction |

It is a space ship that will take you to the farthest reaches of the Universe, a time machine that will take you to the far past and the far future, a teacher that knows more than any human being, a friend that will amuse you and console you -- and most of all, a gateway, to a better and happier and more useful life.
[Letters of Note; Troy (MI, USA) Public Library, 1971]”
