Description
The Sonnet Lover by Carol Goodman A mysterious death sets off a chain of events that leads Dr Rose Asher back to the Italian villa La Civetta, where she spent a year studying Renaissance poetry. Her most gifted student, Robin Weiss, had been researching the life of Ginevra de Laura, a poet believed to be the inspiration for Shakespeare's sonnets. The screenplay Robin wrote before his death suggests that their love affair may have taken place in Italy, sparking both fascination and rivalry among Rose's academic colleagues. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Rose must confront the possibility that her student's discovery could change the course of literary history. With its intricate plot and historical setting, The Sonnet Lover is a gripping tale of obsession, ambition, and the power of art to shape our understanding of the past.
