Product Description

Review

"I would never have guessed that this was a first novel; Marina Fiorato has beautifully recreated the bright, glittering world of the seventeenth-century glassblower, and nestled it surely within a compelling contemporary romance." –Jeanne Kalogridis, author of The Borgia Bride and I, Mona Lisa

"The Glassblower of Murano is a compelling story, richly detailed, with wonderful, memorably drawn characters." –Diane Haeger, author of The Secret Bride and The Ruby Ring

"Fiorato captivates her reader as surely and intricately as the beautiful city of Venice enchants her characters. A fascinating tale of mystery and dedication, of love and betrayal." --Kate Furnivall, author of The Russian Concubine

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, Jun 28 2009

By	MomCan - See all my reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It has a modern storyline, as well as a historical one. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in a little history along with romance. A great read!

3.0 out of 5 stars historic and contemporary, Sep 22 2009

By	Augustina (West Coast, Canada) - See all my reviews

I love historic novels, and the plot in the Glassblower was reasonably good, but I found the novel didn't flow as well as I would wanted. Reading about Old Venice of years ago and modern day I did find most interesting.
