From the author of the award-winning The Gondola Maker, Laura Morelli comes a rich tale of Renaissance Venice, a heroine with a lust for life, and love against all odds: The Painter’s Apprentice: A Novel of 16th-Century Venice.
Having read Like Hell by Madeline Stanford some time ago, I was expecting this story to be good, and it didn’t disappoint. The story is centred around Aurora, whose Grandmother predicts the dates on which the pair of them will die. When her Grandmother’s prediction for her death date comes true, Rory starts a countdown to her own death and starts trying to live life to the full.
