The glassblower of Murano / Marina Fiorato.

Fiorato, Marina. (Author).

Summary:

In the 17th-century, glassblowing was the economic lifeblood of the Venetian Republic and its most talented practitioners were virtually imprisoned on their island in the lagoon by the murderous Council of Ten. But one man sold his secrets to the King of France to ensure the well-being of his secret daughter. Centuries later, a female descendent would return to Venice and take up the art and, in the process, learn about her family's troubled history
