Book Overview

Many noble daughters of Venice are consigned to abbeys for want of a dowry. In 1426, Filipa Barbagio is sent to San Nicolai di Torcello, where she enjoys the hedonistic lifestyle available to her: dressed in the latest fashions, wearing expensive jewellery, attending masquerade balls, entertaining her family and taking men to be her companions. And then she falls in love. Dardi Zorzi loves Clario Duodo, but society expects an arranged marriage with sweet Caterina. Their marriage is difficult at first but gets better over time, especially after the birth of their daughter Lucia. Tragically Caterina is murdered and Dardi is the prime suspect. Filipa comforts and helps her oldest and dearest friend, but then Dardi is accused of the most heinous crime of all. In the aftermath of this terrible denunciation, Filipa risks losing her newly-found love while Dardi risks losing all.

About Mark Morey

About I am part-time in the workforce and a part-time author, and writing technical documentation and advertising material formed a large part of my career for many decades. Writing a novel didn't cross my mind until relatively recently, where the combination of too many years writing dry, technical documents and a visit to the local library where I couldn't find a book that interested me led me consider a new pastime. Write a book. That book may never be published, but I felt my follow-up cross-cultural crime with romance hybrid set in Russia had more potential. So much so that I wrote a sequel that took those characters on a journey to a very dark place. Once those books were published and garnered good reviews I wrote in a very different place and time, and my two novels set in Victorian Britain published in July and August of 2014. This has now been followed by a novel based upon Australian soldiers on the Western Front of World War One, which is a story not as well known as it should be.
