Title: The gift of description
Product review: Girardi has an uncanny knack for creating time and place and truly delivering a reader there. The Venice that he describes in this novel is eerie, damp, and timeless. It is the Venice of 1,000 years ago and the Venice of today. He evokes the longing and the lustiness that such a beautiful and mysterious place can bring and weaves a passionate and sensual love story that compells you to read on. The main character in the novel is certainly one with whom we can oddly enough all sympathize with and one that we are eager to follow. Girardi truly has a gift which he has proven with this and with his other novels, and I would highly recommend his writings.
