Description
Set in 16th-century Venice, Laura Morelli's novel tells the story of Luca Vianello, a young gondola-maker who challenges his master-craftsman father's plans for him. As Luca navigates his complicated relationship with his father, he finds himself drawn to restoring an antique gondola and embarking on a journey that will change his life forever. The Gondola Maker brings the centuries-old art of gondola-making to life in this intimate first-person narrative set against the richly textured backdrop of Renaissance Venice. With its authentic details and vivid descriptions, the book offers a unique glimpse into the city's magnificent setting and the traditions of its artisans. A tale of artisanal tradition and family bonds, The Gondola Maker is a compelling story that will appeal to lovers of historical fiction.
