   If you liked "Damiano", be sure to read the rest of the trilogy (seems
   inevitable these days, doesn't it?):  "Damiano's Lute", and "Raphael".  In
   going through them, and especially after looking back at "Damiano" again,
   my impression is that MacAvoy gains security in her conception of Damiano
   and his world, and the hightened security allows her writing to flow more
   freely and smoothly.  The beauty that she paints in "Damiano" grows greater
   through the next two.  "Raphael" is, to my mind, the greatest of the three,
   a culmination.  I could hardly put it down.


   Try them!
