I couldn’t wait for this book to come out on audiobook because the narration of this excellent story is part of why I read. Full in, new world, Brain Candy. I love reading about someone else’s problems, especially in, say, Venice—which I have still only dreamed of going to❣️ How much better that this book begins with a protagonist who has fashion shoe problems (hello!! 🥴), which creates gondola problems, and a gondolier—as well as a few bad guys—are right there to swoop in. I loved “orphan” Mia and how she’s really searching for her own victories, her own story. Loved her family, their friends, the love interest, the flooding problems, the Renaissance world—everything, everything.
Well done Deborah Swift—so glad to know there’s another. Also!! Love the narration. So many voices and accents and histories to navigate, and they land easy on the page.
