review 1: This novel takes place in 15th century Venice, though there are many Turkish influences to the story, so its history is also included in this tale since the main character was raised in Constantinople. The book is obviously well-researched with rich settings and details of daily ...

review 1: What can I say? I love this author and I never fail to get a darned good read, a goodly amount of history, violence, lust, love, hate, passion and best of all, her stories always take place in Italy. Usually in the 1400's to 1600's so NOT the Italy I would like to have lived in, ...

review 1: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Very well written and an easy read. The author moves between past and present throughout the book which keeps the read interested in both stories. A beautiful love story interwines the 17th and 20th century while enchanting the reader to keep turni...

review 1: Really enjoyed this book! The story is almost magical and there is a lyrical quality to the writing that is quite beautiful. Readers will guess at the book's "twist" early on, and the gratification of the characters realizing it too is well delayed -- for a reason. I went from ho...

review 1: While in the other books of Marina Fiorato there is always something unexpected, here is repeating of the Glassblower of Murano with Dan Brown moments plus a lot of Boticelli (I know the author really loves him but WHY she writes ONLY about him... what about Leonardo Da Vinci or ...

review 1: I was very disappointed with this book. The history and story were just as good as the first book of hers I read( The Venetian Bargain), but it had a lot of depravity. I understand that that was the case with the Medici, and that it was being realistic, but I felt that it had w...

review 1: Starting out, this book felt a bit aggravating to me. The women were just treated so badly and I know, I know, that's the way it was, but it was still upsetting. Moving along though, the book gained momentum quickly and I found myself quite absorbed in the story and invested in t...

review 1: 2.5 ⭐️'sThe Glassblower of Murano....A disorientated historical romance. Whilst a lovely story, the telling of it is misshapen and clumsy. Some points on clumsy story writing...Why prattle on about the librarian? .....8 months of growth over winter (the unborn babe)? When she fel...
