If Venice is not already high on your travel wish list, this book will definitely change that. On top of a heartwarming story, this book will also make you fall in love with this gorgeous city. Heather Redding's writing is lyrical and it made me feel like I was transported to the world her story takes place in.

The story follows two women, Anna and Ginerva, separated by centuries but connected in unexpected ways. In the 1980s timeline, reeling from a heartbreak, Anna goes to Venice where one of the her friends is living. Discovering the beauty and joys of Venice, Anna is on a journey of discovering herself as well. In the 16th century Ginerva has to fight for her place in a very much a man's world. This story takes you on a journey along with Anna and Ginerva but it also brings to life the beauty, art, history and FOOD of Venice.

I think fans of historical fiction and women's fiction alike will really enjoy this one!
