A wonderful journey into Renaissance Florence
|
Caroline P Murphy's follow up to the Pope's Daughter does not disappoint.
It is a first class exploration of the life of Isabella de Medici, Renaissance Florence, the Medici family,and the inevitable politics, of
a fascinating time in Italian history.
The book is full of intrigue, betrayal, clandestine affairs, and murder.
It is not without humour and stories of everyday events within the Medici court.
A life which began with promise, privilege and moved on with not a little passsion,to end in such a brutal manner.
The story of Isabella de Medici is a compelling, marvellous read.
