Seller Description
Venice, 1681. Glassblowing is the lifeblood of the Republic, and Venetian mirrors are more precious than gold. Jealously guarded by the murderous Council of Ten, the glassblowers of Murano are virtually 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 Leonora 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. Size: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". 348 pages. Some slight yellowing of the page edges but no major damages. Interview with the author and reader's guide included.
