(originally published in English as The Venice Sketchbook ) by New York Times bestselling author Rhys Bowen is a sweeping historical fiction novel that masterfully intertwines romance, wartime espionage, and a modern-day journey of self-discovery . 📖 Book Overview & Core Plot
Juliet "Lettie" Browning, an art teacher, arrives in a romantic yet politically tense Venice. While guiding her students through the city's vast beauty, Juliet reconnects with Leonardo Da Rossi—the handsome nobleman she has loved since a brief encounter years prior. Their star-crossed romance is threatened by his family's high-class expectations and the terrifying onset of WWII. As war breaks out, Juliet becomes trapped in Italy, assuming a fake Italian identity and shielding massive secrets.
The narrative utilizes a dual-timeline structure to bridge the gap between World War II and the turn of the 21st century:
Both Juliet and Caroline navigate complex relationships that challenge their independence, comparing societal pressures of the 1930s to modern personal struggles.
