The Glassmaker - Tracy Chevalier

Descriere The Glassmaker - Tracy Chevalier

Venice, 1486. Across the lagoon lies Murano. Time flows differently here - like the glass the island’s maestros spend their lives perfecting. In secret, Orsola Rosso learns to craft glass. As a woman, she must flout convention to save her family from ruin. We follow her through hundreds of years of war and plague, tragedy and triumph, love and loss. Skipping like a stone across the centuries, The Glassmaker is a virtuoso portrait of a woman, a family and a city that are as everlasting as glass. \n \n As finely wrought as a dazzling Murano bead. - Independent \n \n Meticulousy researched and evoking the beauty of the Venice lagoon. - Philippa Gregory \n \n A spectacular feat, crafted by a maestra at the top of her game. - Spectator \n \n A triumph. - Philip Pullman \n \n Spellbinding. - Elif Shafak
