Synopsis
In this salaciously delicious biography 18th century expert Judith Summers views Casanova's erotic escapades through the eyes of his conquests. Some of these women were simply targeted and discarded, but many of them were as fascinating characters as the legendary lover himself. Summers dips lustily into these previously ignored lives, including a woman posing as a castrato, a mysterious noblewoman named Henriette whose identity has never been fully revealed, and the teenage sisters who helped launch Casanova's amorous career.

Publisher's Note
A definitive profile of the eighteenth-century Venetian adventurer Giacomo Casanova, whose name has become a synonym for seduction, looks at history's most famous lover from a female perspective, throwing light on a dangerous and beguiling man, as seen through the eyes of the women who loved him.

Industry Reviews
"Ms. Summers has...jumped at the opportunity to retell Casanova's life, in soap-opera style, and to linger over the more intriguing love affairs, with no juicy details omitted. And what's wrong with that?....She revels in the details of sealed letters, secret assignations and pillow talk. The mist-enshrouded streets of Venice, and the hidden niches of pleasure parks in London and Paris, ideal for assignations and furtive lovemaking, stir her pen. "
