I enjoyed this more than I thought I was going to. I did suggest it because I picked it up ages ago I think I might have been beguiled by the cover 
Anyway it does conjure up Venice very well and it's a fairly nice storyline. I prefered the story of Corradino more than Nora in the present day I think because I found Nora a tad dull it must be said.
It was an easy, lightweight summery type read although also I thought the ending was a bit of a let-down but my general feeling is that it was ok.  |

I really enjoyed this story, it conjures up Venice quite beautifully.
I'm really looking forward to reading her next book... |

I was disappointed by this book, I expected more from it. However it has tempted me to visit Venice & Murano. The ending was so predictable it was cheesy. The part of story set in past was better.
