We witness the centuries-old festivals that regularly crowd the city's jumbled streets, and eavesdrop on conversations that continue deep into the night. We browse the countless curio shops where treasures mingle with kitsch, and meet the locals he befriends. In and out of these encounters slips Benedetta, the object of the author's affections, at once inviting and unfathomable. Weaving the tale of an elusive love together with a vivid portrayal of a legendary metropolis, this is a startling evocation of a magical place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Hofstadter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0375714286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375714283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.26w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/07\/2007 pg. 28","brand":"Dan Hofstadter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640558768383,"sku":"9780375714283","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8a80a16-b6f4-4b73-b771-fa76cfe38d47.jpg?v=1740669947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/falling-palace-dan-hofstadter-9780375714283","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
