Status Updates From The Italian

What in the phantom of the opera is going on with that monk! Also if I had a penny every time I read a 19th century novel set in Italy where a betrothed woman gets abducted into a convent/from a convent… I’d have 2 pennies. (rip pennies btw) was that a common occurrence?!

10% in… reads like the bethrothed (dense, archaic) but not like a gothic novel at all

Realized all three books I’m currently reading are nonfiction! That obviously must be ratified with me being back on my italiaboo bullshit. I’ve also decided my next car is going to be a fiat500 in the most absurd color.
