More about the book

Set in Florence, the story follows Margot Harrington, an American volunteer dedicated to preserving a convent library. Amid her efforts to salvage water-damaged books, she discovers a rare volume containing sixteen erotic drawings by Giulio Romano paired with sonnets by Pietro Aretino. This unique piece of art and literature, once condemned by the Vatican and ordered for destruction, offers a tantalizing glimpse into history and the power of art to endure through time.
