FLORENCE - 1517. Suor Simona is a novice working in the apothecary of the convent at Le Murate. When a few stray strands of her copper hair get the attention of a flighty, unhappily engaged painter, a scandal is born. As grief and jealousy spin matters out of control, far more is at stake than broken promises.

Was good until the ending. Why the author chose this ending
Was good until the ending... Why the author would choose this ending, I have no idea. Too many loose ends and lack of motive, or at least understanding of motive very murky.

So beautifully done. I loved it. I'll be reading it over and over since it's a quick and easy read. The characters really got to me in a good way.

Disappointing
The story was to short and thus lacked character development. There was promise but it was lost. Also the tale was rushed to an end.

Spectacular! A beautiful portrait of Florence in the Renaissance! I loved the way the author painted (haha) the conflict between religion, feminism, attraction, and politically-driven marriages. A quick and pleasant read that I definitely enjoyed and highly recommend.
