A review by nicolepalmer
The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant

1.0

Awful. No plot, no interesting characters to yearn for, nothing. It follows the life of Alessandra Cecchi in painstaking slow detail of every breath she takes each day. It took until around page 365 for me to care even the slightest bit, even then I could have done without the book. Would have not even finished if I weren’t trying to read a certain number of books this year.
