In the Company of the Courtesan



In the Company of the Courtesan by Sarah Dunant is a wonderful tale about 16th Century Venice. After Rome is sacked by Spanish and German invaders a dwarf and his partner a beautiful Venetian Courtesan return to her home in Venice to start anew.

This is a beautiful story. I fell in love with the author's previous book The Birth of Venus so I was anxious to read her next novel. And this one did not disappoint.
