I enjoy reading about the culture in Italy and the places the characters visit. Highsmith does a great job with providing vivid details about the scenery as well as what is taking place around them. It was interesting to read about what types of bathing suits the Europeans wear and what kind of food they eat. Since I have never traveled outside of the United States, I enjoy reading novels that take place elsewhere and make me feel like I am actually there. Even the characters are described in detail of their dress and mannerisms. I think that a detailed story makes a more believable story. Highsmith makes it easy to feel like you actually know these characters and have visited these European cities.
