Venetians wife

Usado, em estoque. Capa dura. Miolo solto, leve amarelamento e marcas de exposição. Sara Wolfe is about to fall backwards. The thick walls that separate the past from the present are crumbling, but she doesnt know it yet. Shes just working at the museum, retouching yet anocher canvas, trying not to go out of her mind with boredom. Putting down her brush just a short break, she thinks she heads to the gallery to take another look at that new drawing, the one she cant stop thinking about, the one of the Hindu god Shiva, who dances...Thats when it all begins. The next day, an E-mail message brings her a job offer: to find the few remaining pieces of a fifteenth-century adventurers renowned collection of Indian sculptures. Her employer, curiously, wishes to communicate only by computer. She has no idea who he is or why he wants her, but other mysteries soon preoccupy her, such as the meaning of an enigmatic illuminated manuscript- and the sensual transformation that seems to be overtaking her. Through her quirkily illustrated diary and the artful E-mail exchanges between Sara and her mentor, we are taken to meet The Venetians Wife. Nick Bantock, acclaimed author of the Griffin & Sabine trilogy, has conjured up a richly illustrated tale of a relentless quest, an amorous legacy, and the resonating power of art. The Venetians Wife is a lush, romantic adventure of the soul that tantalizes the reader to the last line.
