The Glassblower of Murano is an historical mystery centred on the glassmaking tradition of the Venetian island of Murano. The arrival of a young English woman on the island triggers a chain of events which lead back to her ancestor, the great Renaissance glass craftsman Corradino. Filled with sumptuous descriptions of Venice past and present, Marina Fiorato’s novel is a wonderful achievement of historical reconstruction and present day intrigue.
