*Literary Review*
‘Levy’s writing is pacy and … witty, and she deploys a wide range
of materials well’
*TLS*
House of Secrets is revelatory … Levy is a thorough and thoroughly
engaging storyteller, leaving no stone of the Palazzo Rucellai
unexamined … a whole memory palace embodied by the Palazzo Rucellai
for which Levy — author, art historian, inhabitant — is the ideal
guide.
