" Published in 1905, Where Angels Fear to Tread is a tale of England and Italy, two cultures pulling apart two families. While on holiday in Monteriano, Italy, Lilia Herriton falls in love with the handsome, but very young Italian named Gino. From there they are married and father a son, unleashing an exploration of vice, virtue, and prejudice between the two families. The rather short book, of only 135 pages, is sentenced with beautiful language and the reader is quickly immersed in the story by the first page. The story does relate the complexes of two cultures misunderstanding each other and the horrific consequences that can result when superiority and deception are considered as necessary tactics to solving problems, especially when it comes to that of a newborn babe and the dark forest that awaits one rainy night. A moving story. A recommend. "
