review 1: If there were 1/2 stars I might have given it a 3 1/2. But felt the 4 stars were more representing how I felt about this book than 3 stars. I loved the Florence setting. She did an excellent job taking me back there. Also, being an artist, loved the character's love and description for gilding even if it is not what I do. Excellent read with some weaknesses. But would recommend it to avid readers.
review 2: The journey of a young woman is chronicled, not just her travels to and from the richly illustrated city of Florence, but her evolution from wide-eyed ingenue to an older artisan carrying the weight of a secret, a mistake and a betrayal. What resonates clearly amidst the glory that is Florence is the truly human dilemmas facing the student gilder and ... morethe emerging woman, seeking to find her career as the direction of her identity unfolds. Kathryn Kay takes us on an artistic pilgrimage to the place of Marina's awakening as a skilled gilder and a self-aware woman and mother. less
