Publisher's description. A spell-binding literary journey through the ancient and timeless maze of Venice. With characteristic thoughtfulness and elegance, Marias captures this city of contradictions, where glamour and squalor are layered one atop the other, and the truly native Venetians are a rare and elusive tribe.
