review 1: I really, really enjoyed this book. So much so that I couldn't put it down and once I really got into it, finished it in a couple of days. You just can't help but gobble it up! This is just the pinnacle of storytelling- it's a moving, enrapturing tale full of love, suspense, tragedy, and hope. It makes you catch and hold your breath, has you needing to turn the page... I highly recommend it! Wonderful for lovers of historical Venice, exposes a side of it you wouldn't think of.
review 2: Historically moderately interesting, but one-dimensional characters and deadly dull narrative. We know nothing really about Hannah and Isaac. How did they meet? Why do they love each other? How did Hannah become a midwife? What happened to her parents? I have no reason to r... moreoot for either character (other than the fact that the author tells me I should) because they don't come alive at all. If this wasn't a book club selection I would never have finished it. less
