This was a recent Bookclub selection - I have got very behind with these.
The story is about Julia Garnet, who has retired and after the death of her companion set off to spend an extended holiday in Venice. What she gets there is, in effect, a new life. There is no complex story line or subtexts [unless I completely missed them!]. But there is lots of description of the places and the people and references to history - in particular the history of a picture that she becomes attached to.
Overall it was an enjoyable and not too taxing read.
