Lucianna (The Silk Merchant's Daughters)

Lucianna (The Silk Merchant's Daughters)

In this sweeping new series of Renaissance Italy, Bertrice Small does it again with all the passion and historical splendor that has captured the imagination of her legion of fansâ‚¬Â¦.

After her two elder sisters become the scandals of Florence, Lucianna Pietro dâ‚¬Angelo is in the difficult position of finding a wealthy man who will have her for his wife. She has little choice but to accept the proposal of an aging booksellerâ‚¬"a not entirely disagreeable union in which Lucianna comforts the dear man in his final years. When he passes away, she inherits his shop and, with it, a sizable fortune.

Lucianna is content with comfortable widowhoodâ‚¬"until Robert Minton, Earl of Lisle, visits her bookshop. The Englishman is not only dashing and handsomeâ‚¬"heâ‚¬s a trusted courtier of Henry VII.

The Pietro dâ‚¬Angelos cannot deny the spark of attraction between their daughter and the earl, so they scheme to send her to London. There, Lucianna steps out of the shadow of her quiet Florentine life, pursuing a love of which she never dreamed and rising in London society all the way to court of the new Tudor king.
