dragonrider29 's review for:
The Glassmaker
by Tracy Chevalier
This is an enthralling novel of historical fiction which portrays the life of a family of glassmakers from Murano. Special attention is paid to Orsola, the daughter of the family who, contrary to social norms, has a fascination with glassmaking and the desire to show the world what she can do with it, and with her life. We travel through time witnessing her struggles, her joys, her loves and her fascinating life. Tracy Chevalier is a fabulous writer, a creator of wonderful characters and the amount of research undertaken for this book is clear in the depth and details of the world. On finishing this book I immediately picked up another by the author and will seek out any others I might have missed.
