Short yet satisfying
Told with Eco's inimical wit and economy this medieval romance is given a modern flavour with references to current politics and both the paragons and villains are examined with cynical clarity. A lovely, light and well paced performance adds to the charm of this quirky tale and, as is often the case with Eco, the authorial voice following the main action prompts the listener to begin again and listen with new analytical emphasis!
