Stopped reading after some 15% of Kindle's volume. Found the stuff too trivial, at many places feels like a travelogue. The father tells his daughter some common places about Venice, but never mentions, eg that Ragusa was (also) an independent republic, and so on.
At the beginning I had the impression that the author was capable of producing sound prose, but after two or three rounds of repetitions, no: no impulse to read further.
