Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Fifteen years ago the teenage granddaughter of the grand Contessa Lando-Continui was rescued at the last moment from drowning in the canals. But young Manuela's life was never the same again. Now aged thirty, she lives trapped in an eternal youth.
The Contessa, certain that this was no accident, implores Brunetti to find the culprit she believes ruined Manuela's life.
But once Brunetti starts to investigate, he finds a murky past and a dark story at its heart . . .

'Brilliantly done, with a sense of place rarely matched in any fiction' The Times
'A sparkling summer read.' The Tablet

The best Brunetti book
This novel really picked up pace half-way through and I had to stay awake to dawn in order to finish it.

David Rintoul’s voice
The story had a satisfying and hopeful ending. Very much like Donna Leon’s Brunneti series.

Another brilliant book.
I have read some comments about retiring this character...well this book was beautifully crafted. It tugs at your heart strings right up until the last word. Just brilliant.

A great story.
This is an engaging story, well told and beautifully constructed. Donna Leon shows us Venice as it is today, not some fairy tale version of the city. Brunetti is likeable as ever.
