"A delectable comedy of manners." --Boston Globe The Ridolfi are a Florentine family of long lineage and little money. It is 1955, Italy is still struggling back after the war, and the family, like its decrepit villa and farm, has seen better days. Among the Ridolfi, only eighteen-year-old Chiara shows anything like vitality. But it's a vitality matched by innocence--a dangerous combination, to herself and to all who love her. Chiara sets her heart on the bull-headed Salvatore, a brilliant young doctor from the south who resolved long ago to be emotionally dependent on no one. Stymied, she calls on her resourceful English girlfriend, Barney, to help her make the impossible match. And so ensues a comedy of errors, in which guileless lovers, with the best of intentions, considerable charm, and the kindest of instincts, succeed in making one another thoroughly and astonishingly miserable. "An exquisite mosaic, where every tiny piece is part of a world." --A. S. Byatt, Threepenny ReviewBinding Type: Paperback

cost vs value
Size: One Size, Color: Skyway
Is it worth the price? that's a question that only you can answer for yourself. I mean, it's alpaca - which isn't exactly cheap, and it's nice and warm. The shape is a little odd - it seems a bit loose - so might be better for bigger heads or bigger hair.

Cozy, Stylish, and Perfect for Cold Days
Size: One Size, Color: Merlot
This beanie is absolutely perfect! The alpaca material feels incredibly soft and plush without being itchy, and it keeps my head warm without overheating. The fit is just right — snug but not tight — and it looks great with both casual and dressier winter outfits. I also love the Merlot color; it’s rich, flattering, and adds a nice pop without being too bold. It feels well-made and holds its shape nicely after wearing. Love it!

Fantastic texture
Size: One Size, Color: Skyway, Size: One Size, Color: Skyway
Finally, I had found a beanie that provides the warmth of wool, without itchy-ness. Love the texture! This beanie is awesome and exceeded my expectations; definitely the most comfortable winter hat I have ever had. It is well constructed, plush, and the fit is spot on. It fits snug, providing warmth, with out suffocating or leaving marks on my forehead. Additionally, the beanie is temperature adaptive while wicking away sweat when used functionally like during snow boarding. Moreover, it versatile and stylish enough for everyday use. Highly recommend

Comfy and so cute.
Size: One Size, Color: Skyway, Size: One Size, Color: Skyway
This alpaca beanie is just plain cozy. Super soft, comfy, and surprisingly warm. It fits well (the one-size actually works), and it sits nicely without feeling tight or slipping around.
I get compliments every time I wear it. Great for cold days, football games, or just when I want something cozy with a little personality.
