Synopsis
In 15th-century Florence, a young woman named Alessandra welcomes an arranged marriage to a cultured man over 30 years her senior because he promises her the freedom to pursue her painting. But the deal is not quite what she imagined. As Florence falls increasingly under the sway of Savanarola, Alessandra begins an affair with another young artist--and the city's violence and chaos lead the characters to the brink of disaster.

Publisher's Note
Turning fifteen in Renaissance Florence, Alessandra Cecchi becomes intoxicated with the works of a young painter whom her father has brought to the city to decorate the family's Florentine palazzo, a situation that is complicated by her unwanted arranged marriage to an older man and a battle between the Medici family and the fundamentalist followers of Savonarola.

Industry Reviews
"Though THE BIRTH OF VENUS has been described, for obvious reasons, as serpentine (and it cannot be denied that the plot is so sinuous it defies summary), the imaginative energy of the enterprise is clearly warmblooded, playful, even reckless--more feline than reptilian."
New York Times Book Review - Valerie Martin (03/07/2004)

"Part feverish thriller, part historical romance, the story of the outspoken heroine's sentimental education...sometimes comes off as a heady blend of Browning's MY LAST DUCHESS and Anaïs Nin. But Dunant's skill lies in combining these elements with a finely textured and pertinent depiction of a cultured citizenry in the grip of rampant fundamentalism."
New Yorker (03/29/2004)

"[A]rtfully constructed....Dunant weaves together language, motifs and iconography to explore grand themes with as much reverence and sensitivity as she does private emotion."
Literary Review - Beatrice Hodgkin (04/01/2004)
