In the immortal words of Mary Wells and Dolly Parton, ' Well, I've got two lovers and I ain't ashamed. Two lovers and I love them both the same .' The lovers here are firstly, the eponymous brand Borbonese, and the second is the rich and fabled history of manufacturing in Italy. Without a doubt Elkann writes a love letter to both and gives equal attention to them without detracting from either as she tells the tales with great élan as well as with educational and informative overtones. - NY JOURNAL OF BOOKS sakriti opis
