Description

Amsterdam 1758. A man, Monsieur le Chevalier de Seingalt, sets out to seduce a courtesan known for never removing her veil. He proposes a challenge: if she can find a woman who has suffered after falling in love with him, she is entitled to resist his charms; otherwise, she should play along. Unbeknownst to Seingalt, he has already met the veiled woman many years ago, in another life. Lucia, too, remains unaware of the connection between them. As their paths converge, a deliciously entertaining and moving story unfolds, exploring themes of innocence, experience, love, and sacrifice. From Amsterdam's canals to Venice's, this captivating tale paints a glorious portrait of 18th-century Europe, weaving an entrancing journey that will leave readers spellbound.
