Reviews:

“…a lost gem by French literary icon George Sand which has remarkably modern characters and themes. Set in Venice at the height of its power, this gripping story keeps us guessing until the end.”

 – Pascale Sardin, Professor, Bordeaux Montaigne University

“... Sand astutely explores the darker side of human nature in this astonishing tale of greed and corruption. Another first-rate translation by Lynne Forest.” – Hervé Picton, author and translator Goodreads Reviews of previous work by the same author:

Of previous books by the same author:

“La Petite Fadette is an easy and a memorable read. I do recommend it!”

“…this is an enjoyable read, easy to read, and a typical provincial story. We have a bucolic atmosphere from beginning to end, two well developed main characters, and an ideal ending.I truly enjoyed reading The Devil’s Pool, which is like a one-sitting read, and therefore I’d recommend it.”

“Yes, you can read Indiana for its advocacy for women’s freedom, to know History through this story, or simply to read a good and beautiful story. But when you have read Indiana, you will come back to it to impregnate yourself with George Sand’s knowledge of the world, deep understanding of men and women’s soul, and the great intelligence that she puts at your fingertips in a clear, simple, bright and attaching style.”
