Description

Lucrezia de' Medici's marriage to Alfonso d'Este is supposed to be a fairytale romance, but from the start, it feels like a complicated web. As the years pass, Lucrezia becomes increasingly isolated, while her husband's temper and frustration grow. The pressure mounts as the Vatican threatens to take away his title unless he produces an heir, and Alfonso turns to his lover Francesca for comfort. But as time goes on, his anger towards his wife becomes unbearable, and he begins to plot a way out of his problems. Set in 16th-century Tuscany, this beautifully written novel brings to life the passions and people of that era, creating a story that will stay with you for a long time.
