Hardback. Etat : Very Good. 'It is one fact, sir, that I am a widow, ' she said. 'It is another fact, that I am going to be marriedagain.'There she paused, and smiled at some thought that occurred to her. Doctor Wybrow was notfavourably impressed by her smile-there was something at once sad and cruel in it. It came slowly, and it went away suddenly. He began to doubt whether he had been wise in acting on his firstimpression. His mind reverted to the commonplace patients and the discoverable maladies that werewaiting for him, with a certain tender regret.The lady went on.'My approaching marriage, ' she said, 'has one embarrassing circumstance connected with it. Thegentleman whose wife I am to be, was engaged to another lady when he happened to meet with me, abroad: that lady, mind, being of his own blood and family, related to him as his cousin. I haveinnocently robbed her of her lover, and destroyed her prospects in life. Innocently, I say-becausehe told me nothing of his engagement until after I had accepted him. When we next met inEngland-and when there was danger, no doubt, of the affair coming to my knowledge-he toldme the truth. I was naturally indignant.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Two impossible love stories are fatefully connected by one artistic legacy in a stunning debut that leaps between the mysteries of late-Renaissance Venice and the dramas of present-day America. "Enchanting from the first page."--Sarah Jio, New York Times bestselling author of All the Flowers in Paris In the wake of her father's death, Rose Newlin finds solace in her work as a book restorer. Then, one rainy Connecticut afternoon, a struggling painter appears at her door. William Lomazzo brings with him a sixteenth-century treatise on art, which Rose quickly identifies as a palimpsest: a document written over a hidden diary that had purposely been scraped away. Yet the restoration sparks an unforeseen challenge when William--a married man--and Rose experience an instant, unspoken attraction. Five centuries earlier, Renaissance-era Venetians find themselves at the mercy of an encroaching Ottoman fleet preparing for a bloody war. Giovanni Lomazzo, a portrait artist grappling with tragedy, discovers that his vision is fading with each passing day. Facing the possibility of a completely dark world, Gio begins to document his every encounter, including what may be his final artistic feat: a commission to paint the enchanting courtesan of one of Venice's most powerful military commanders. Soon, however, Gio finds himself enraptured by a magnificent forbidden love. Spellbound by Gio's revelations, Rose and William are soon forced to confront the reality of their own mystifying connection. A richly detailed page-turner shadowed by one of history's darkest times, The Lost Diary of Venice weaves a heartbreakingly vivid portrait of two vastly different worlds--and two tales of entrancing, unrelenting love.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore channels William Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe in The Serpent of Venice, a satiric Venetian gothic that brings back the Pocket of Dog Snogging, the eponymous hero of Fool, along with his sidekick, Drool, and pet monkey, Jeff. Venice, a long time ago. Three prominent Venetians await their most loathsome and foul dinner guest, the erstwhile envoy of Britain and France, and widower of the murdered Queen Cordelia: the rascal Fool Pocket. This trio of cunning plotters-the merchant, Antonio; the senator, Montressor Brabantio; and the naval officer, Iago-have lured Pocket to a dark dungeon, promising an evening of spirits and debauchery with a rare Amontillado sherry and Brabantio's beautiful daughter, Portia.

(How can such a small man, be such a huge obstacle?). But this Fool is no fool .and he's got more than a few tricks (and hand gestures) up his sleeve.…
