A charming, resourceful imposter travels to Italy and finds he wants someone else's life badly enough to take it.
About This Book
The cunning schemes of a young American ne'er-do-well, who travels to Italy on an unusual assignment.
Who This Is For
Best for readers who want to be kept on edge: propulsive, twisty, and hard to put down. The writing rewards attention without being demanding, a good balance of depth and readability. The pacing is balanced, time to breathe between moments that matter. Readers who prefer character depth over plot drive may find it thin.
Best Read When
Best read when you're in the mood for something tense and impossible to put down, and a read that's balanced and absorbing.
What It Explores
The Talented Mr. Ripley explores identity and the gap between who we are and who we pretend to be, power and ambition and what they cost the people who pursue them, and survival and what extreme circumstances ask of people.
