Turning to the magic, mystery, and decadence of Venice, Berendt gradually reveals the truth behind a sensational fire that in 1996 destroyed the historic Fenice opera house. Encountering a rich cast of characters, Berendt tells a tale full of atmosphere and surprise as the stories build, one after the other, ultimately coming together to portray a world as finely drawn as a still-life painting.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53670194905361,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780143036937.jpg?v=1781510813","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-the-city-of-falling-angels-by-john-berendt","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
