Venice in the Spring!
I am excited to tell you about my new book, THE VENICE SKETCHBOOK, that comes out on April 13
It’s about two women, bound by blood and parallel stories-and Venice. In 1928 Juliet is a young girl, abroad for the first time. In 1939 she is back in Venice for a life of forbidden love and great danger and in 2001 as she lies dying with her great-niece Caroline at her side, she presses a box into Caroline’s hands. It contains 3 keys and a sketchbook of Venice
What will those keys unlock?
It was a joy to return to Venice in my head during the pandemic when we couldn’t travel because it’s a place I’ve loved all my life, starting as a child when my parents rented a villa nearby and let my brother and me explore alone. Every time I visit it takes my breath away. I have tried to bring it to life in this book so that you can enjoy it is much as I do
Stay safe. The light is at the end of the tunnel
