Poignant, and laced with humor that comes from having inner wealth and empty pockets, the book portrays the charm of Venetian culture and the flair of its people. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a wonderful, intimate book that transports the reader to another time a place full of romance and wonder, but grounded in the human condition common to humanity. The experience of growing up in Murano and Venice is vividly and sensitively communicated in a way that makes the reader feel that he has lived the experience, but at the same time motivates one to travel there to see it, hear it, and feel it. But, of course, if you are from Murano, you already knew what I was going to say about the book anyway. An unforgettable read... highly recommended.
