The Search for Gabriella is a quest to find a painting, signed with a single 'Z', and runs from 1470 to 2015, starting in Venice and stopping in Elizabethan England, Georgian London, Abyssinia and Australia en route to its just-in-time retrieval in Prague. "Fast-paced, colourful, gripping and involving, non-stop to the end."Product DescriptionReader 1: For me it's a mystery story. About Ben's quest to find the answer to his uncle's life's work.Reader 2: Yes, I see that. But for me it's a sort of historical novel. Look at the different time periods where the action takes place - Renaissance Venice, Elizabethan England, out in Abyssinia in the time of Queen Victoria, and present day London and Prague.Reader 3: But for me, it's a romance - or two romances. There's Gabriella and her beau, there's Ben and the girl who isn't named. But I forgot There's Tom and Diana. It's full of romance Reader 4: Well, for me, it's an adventure story. With a lot of action. I love the brawl in the bar in Venice, and the gondola chase, and the rockets firing away in Abyssinia, and the sly Kakonin in Prague, trying to outwit Ben.
