Venice, 1556. Into this thriving but divided city comes young English protestant Richard Stocker, escaping the persecutions of his homeland and reeling from the execution of his friend Lady Jane Grey. Soon Richard finds himself caught up in Venice's complex political life, and involved with three of the city's most remarkable women: Faustina Contarini, a nun imprisoned in a convent by her noble family; Yasmeen Ahmed, Muslim book-keeper to the great artist Tintoretto; and Veronica Franco, painters' model, poet and courtesan. Each has her own story, and each her own secrets, but they have one thing in common: they are all daughters of the Doge, held captive by the contradictory laws and regulations of this teeming metropolis. Edward Charles has written an enthralling account of a young man's coming of age as he discovers love, faith and intrigue in a vibrantly evoked Renaissance Venice.
