THE ITALIAN TEACHER

by Tom Rachman

Charles ‘Pinch’ Bavinsky’s tragedy was to be born the son of celebrated artist Bear Bavinsky. Sensitive, over-thinking and over-shadowed by his father's legacy, Pinch’s story is a poignant, heart-rending tale about family and art which moves at great pace towards a truly gripping ending. I loved this book. It held me spellbound as I wished, wished, wished for it all to work out for Pinch.
