A venetian affair: a true story of impossible love in the 18th century

Two and half centuries later, the unbelievable story of this star-crossed couple is told in a breathtaking narrative, re-created in part from the passionate, clandestine letters Andrea and Giustiniana wrote to each other. Author di Robilant brilliantly revokes Venice in the age of Casanova with the masked balls, the elegant salons, the louche casinos, and dead-on with the social, political, and romantic intrigue of the era. A novel, luminous, vivid, powerful, erotic and utterly spellbinding! An unforgettable period in history and an equally unforgettable book.
