You are right, Dressing too is another of my favorite cultural elements. The dressing can depict time and place in a story.

I think that the food was even more revealing about the country than the names. The dishes in this book carried a sense of traditional culture with them, which made it easy to recognize the country of origin.

You know, I actually can’t say I paid that much attention to the differences in the cultures. Now I feel like I should have. I think I was more focused on the mystery.

Cultural Diversity was taken seriously in the book. With Italian life reborn into another religion and the difference between the lifestyle of the culture brought the book to life.
