The Glassblower of Murano by Marina Fiorato

4.0

This is another split timeline novel; it’s set in Venice in both the 1600s and the modern day. It covers the stories of Corradino Manin, who sold Venetian glass making secrets to the French, and his ancestor Nora Manin, who has split up from her husband and decided to move to Venice and become the first female glassblower.

While it sounds a little schmaltzy it wasn’t overdone and I sped through it, really enjoying it. I thought the author described Venice really well; I often find that books don’t do it justice.

So, yep - I’d recommend this book. It’s an easy yet interesting read.
