This particular novel can be described as a amateurish. However, I just realized this is her first book (and I read it last, a case of cart going before the horse :) ). ( ) Leonora Manin es una hermosa joven que siente que su vida no tiene mucho sentido una vez que su esposo Stephen la deja por otra mujer. Decide entonces abandonar Londres y emprender un viaje a Venecia para buscar nuevos horizontes, mientras reconstruye, además, su historia familiar. En Venecia consigue trabajo como sopladora en una fábrica de vidrio de Murano, la célebre isla donde se producen piezas especiales de cristal desde hace siglos. Allí, la envidia y la soberbia se cruzarán en su camino y tendrá que luchar para limpiar el nombre de Corrado Manin, su antepasado del Renacimiento, protagonista de una apasionante peripecia relacionada con un medallón de cristal. Leonora irá paulatinamente descubriendo los misterios que envuelven a este mítico antecesor y encontrará una segunda oportunidad para el amor en la mágica ciudad de los canales y palacios antiguos. 3.5 stars - a quick and easy read, enjoyable as it brought back memories of Venice for me. The story shifts between present-day Venice and 1681, with both parts holding my attention equally well. Raised in England, Leonora Manin moves to Venice in search of her roots and herself. She tries to find out what happened to her ancestor and artistic inspiration, glassblower Corradino Manin in 1681. The descriptions of the glassblowing techniques are fascinating and the city of Venice is beautifully portrayed. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Venice, 1681. Glassblowing is the lifeblood of the Republic, and Venetian mirriors are more precious than gold. Jealously guarded by the murderous Council of Ten, the glassblowers of Murano are virutally imprisoned on their island in the lagoon. But the greatest of the artists, Corradino Manin, sells his methods and his soul to Louis XIV of France to protect his secret daughter. In the present day, his descendent, Leonara Manin, leaves London for a new life as a glassblower in Venice -- only to find her fate inextricably linked with her ancestor's dangerous secrets--Cover.
