Melted Into Air

By: Sandi Toksvig

Narrated by: Sandi Toksvig

Frances Angel, drunk and disgruntled, arrives in Italy to attend the I Zingari Art School, leaving behind her dazzling career as a successful theatrical impresario and returning to a distant and painful past. She falls into an eclectic group of performance artists, ex soldiers and a housewife who really just wants to paint something to match her settee. In the village a scale replica of the La Scala opera house becomes the setting for the great drama of Francis' past to be played out on the world's smallest stage. Francis expected to find some answers but what she didn't expect was romance and quite so much farce.©2006 Sandi Toksvig

Critic reviews

Just the thing for the airport delay

Here's one that slips down easily and aids restful sleep - a delightful new novel . . . A page-turner with great one-liners

Bounces along with the good-natured levity one would expect from this author . . . warmly recommended as a light summer read - to be digested over a grappa in a sunlit Italian piazza

Great verve and energy . . . a real page-turner . . . very funny

Enthusiastic Applause!

This is brilliantly funny and brilliantly read by the author. I enjoyed literally every minute and will return for repeated listenings -- an attraction which sets this work above most of its companions in the humor genre.
