Piero Zanetti is the epitome of the handsome yet tortured artist. Heart-broken by the end of his love affair with a glamorous opera singer, he has lost his ability to work, and his inspiration has drained away, along with his zest for life.
But Didi needs Piero working – she has been tasked with commissioning him to do a glass centrepiece for a luxury department store Christmas display – some how Didi has to cheer Piero up or at least find him a new muse…
As Didi and Piero slowly become friends, and as Venice starts to melt Didi’s heart and gently nudge Piero out of the blues, something special begins to happen. Can Venice – the City of Love – work a Christmas miracle and help Didi and Piero to find their happiness at last'
This is the story of Didi and Peiro, their tale is told over the course of 34 Chapters(+Epilogue). Right from the beginning of this story readers will be mesmerised by the descriptions of the scenes where the story takes place. Whether that is romantic Venice or cold London.
Not only are the descriptions brilliant when it comes to the scenary but also the descriptions of the glass sculptures. Not only is the way they look described but also how the light and colour looks. These descriptions give so much detail that readers can visualise what the pieces as well as the places look like.
Throughout this story the point of view switches from Didi to Piero and back again. This gives readers the chance to learn about both characters and what they are hiding from the other person.
Let me tell you about the Author Leonie Mack, who is a debut romantic novelist. She has lived in London for many years, though nowadays her home is in Germany with her husband and three children. Leonie loves medieval towns, train travel, hiking and happy endings.
Overall this is a brilliant book within a beautiful setting that will leave readers no doubt wanting to visit Venice when they get the chance. Throughout the book the readers emotions are kept on the edge wondering how the story will turn out. You can get your copy HERE
Until Next Time
