I haven’t read The Leopard, by Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa, but it looks really interesting, and its Wikipedia entry indicates that it won Italy’s Strega prize in 1959 and that the Observer named it one of their 10 best historical novels back in 2012. Now an English translation is on sale at Kindle UK today for £0.99 as part of the Daily Deal.
(And, in Kindle’s often amusing but rarely appropriate genre-switching, it’s ranked as the “#1 Best Seller in Cat, Dog & Animal Humour”…sigh!)
