The Glassmaker
by Tracy Chevalier
Lush historical fiction about glassmakers in Murano and Venice since the fifteenth century. Rather than follow successive generations to the present day, Chevalier uses the fanciful concept that time in these places moves differently to that in the rest of the world, so we follow the same characters through the centuries. This doesn't stand up to much consideration, but if you just accept it, it works and I enjoyed the in depth look at glass making, life in Murano and Venice, family dynamics, and changes in society over the years. The audiobook was beautifully done.
