Review title: Beautiful... (4.5 Stars)
Product review: I bought this book and Sarah Dunant's newest book, "In The Company of the Courtesan", at the same time. I read "Courtesan" first and was fairly disappointed (see my review). Because I had already bought "Venus", I decided to give it a go. This book was beautiful and compelling and even a week after I have finished it, I find myself thinking about the story. The author captures the main character's voice perfectly. I felt like I truly knew Alessandra. Unlike "Courtesan", the characters in this book are very relatable and substantial. I felt their pain, passion, and joy. My only complaint is that the story was too short. Selfishly I could say that the last chapter feels rushed, but only because I wanted more! I wanted Alessandra and her painter's story to continue so I could share their experiences. If I could rate "The Birth of Venus" 4.5 stars, I probably would, but I rounded up because of the way I felt while I was reading the story.
