Story
Florence, the 1550s. Lucrezia, third daughter of the grand duke, is comfortable with her obscure place in the palazzo: free to wonder at its treasures, observe its clandestine workings, and to devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding, Lucrezia is thrust into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father just as quick to accept on her behalf. Having barely left girlhood behind, Lucrezia must make her way in a court whose customs are opaque and where her arrival is not universally welcomed.

Good read....hard to follow at times but she goes back and ties it up nicely toward the end. Didn't like the narration but got used to it. she sounds like she's trying to whisper or something...didn't work for me. not sure why she thought it should be read like that

Reviewed: 07-30-19
Good story but could have been better. Found myself getting frustrated because the main character (wife) was protrayed to be rather naive. I had it figured out pretty early. Disappointed the author made her kinda dumb. Otherwise the storyline had a lot of potential to really be a good book and could have been much better.

Expecting so much more but it was 3 different books in one which was weird. The narrator in the first book was awful. The second one not too bad. Dissappointed.
