Here are a few more questions to consider as you get further along in the book. Feel free to respond to these or riff!
1. This book took place during a time of transition in English society, from Victorian to modern norms. How do we see that tension arise in the book?
2. The idea of it being a small world pops up at a few different points. Have you ever had a small world experience while traveling?
3. England and Italy both get a fair bit of description and the book takes place more or less 50% in each country. What do you think of how the shift in both characters and setting relate?
