We have flown into Buenos Aires and cruised from their port so it was interesting to revisit South America in this novel that is re-imagined from that infamous Amanda Knox trial in Italy.
The author does a good job with character development and I really enjoyed her portrayal of Sebastien LeCompte (the rich young man next door who was Lily's boyfriend) as a possibly socially challenged Asperger type.
Lilly (the Amanda Knox prototype) is constructed as out of touch with any social responsibility and also incredibly sexually irresponsible. Needless to say that I have no empathy with her character and no sympathy for her seemingly tragic experience with Argentinian justice.
