The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant

4.0

Great read! Set in Florence in the late 1500's, this tale starts with a mystery that wraps up nicely through the course of a life narrative. There are subtle twists and turns, following a main character for whom it's easy to feel passion and empathy. There were a couple of plot lines that fell flat, but it didn't take away from the story.
