Damiano's Lute is a fantasy novel by R. A. MacAvoy published in 1984. Plot summary Damiano's Lute is a novel in which former mage Damiano tries to survive as he wanders through plague-ridden Renaissance Italy. Reception Dave Langford reviewed Damiano's Lute for White Dwarf #70, and stated that "though it reads well, the characters seem thinner, flatter, less convincing this time around. That's the trouble with writing well, Ms MacAvoy - the blasted critics expect you to write even better." Reviews Review by Faren Miller (1984) in Locus, #278 March 1984 Review by Lynn F.
