I enjoyed this glimpse into the lives of women in 1509 Venice. It is an entertaining story, with romance and intrigue, but it's real impact on me was to further sympathise with women though the centuries who have had very little control over their own lives. Told from the POV of a strong and educated (which was unusual for the time) 16-year-old girl, the lives of women in many different circumstances are illustrated. 3.75/5 stars.
