“It is not a murder book, at least not yet,” I told my husband on the phone. “It’s about Italy after the war at the moment and it’s engaging. This is a very good book, well written and interesting.” (House of Versace)

“Okay.”

“Okay, so they were poor. The Versace family. Everyone was, after the war.  They had very little, they were peasants but the mother was talented. She was a seamstress. All the fashion came out of Paris at the time but she’d buy the couture patterns, the high end stuff from Paris and she’d make the clothes but she’d add some flair.
