I usually read the edgar best mtstery nominees which is why i was reading this one. I generaaly like historical mysteries and particularly world war two ones, but this one irritatated me. (SPOILER***) I guess the guy who is supposed to be the "romantic lead" just did not appeal to me. First he's an adult convincing a teenager to sneak out with him, later she has sex for the first time and he abandons her for a month. He claims he doesnt love his wife but for financial/social reasons needs to stay with her..... just really turned me off ( ) Rhys Bowen's The Venice Sketchbook tells a dual timeline story of a contemporary woman, Caroline Grant, and her great-aunt, Juliet Browning, who connect across time when Browning leaves a bequest for Grant. Grant is struggling with her personal life as she faces divorce. Meanwhile, Browning faces her own challenges and decisions during her time in Venice. I enjoyed the story and the portrait of Venice. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Caroline Grant is struggling to accept the end of her marriage when she receives an unexpected bequest. Her beloved great-aunt Lettie leaves her a sketchbook, three keys, and a final whisper ... Venice. Caroline's quest: to scatter Juliet "Lettie" Browning's ashes in the city she loved and to unlock the mysteries stored away for more than sixty years. It's 1938 when art teacher Juliet Browning arrives in romantic Venice. For her students, it's a wealth of history, art, and beauty. For Juliet, it's poignant memories and a chance to reconnect with Leonardo Da Rossi, the man she loves whose future is already determined by his noble family. However star-crossed, nothing can come between them. Until the threat of war closes in on Venice and they're forced to fight, survive, and protect a secret that will bind them forever. Key by key, Lettie's life of impossible love, loss, and courage unfolds. It's one that Caroline can now make right again as her own journey of self-discovery begins."--Publisher.
