Daughter Of Venice by Napoli Donna Jo
Venice, Italy, 1592. Donata Mocenigo, younger daughter to one of the city's great noble families, leads a life full of wealth and privileges. But she feels constricted by the many rules of etiquette she must observe. So Donata and her sisters come up with a daring plan for her to escape the palazzo and explore. But little does she realize that in doing so, she will change her own and her family's lives for ever.
"So rich with historical detail and intrigue that readers will quickly feel the desperation and exhilaration of Donata's daring escape.. an authentic taste of this complex society on the brink of change and the ancient rules that still bound its women both physically and mentally." Amazon "A strong and enjoyable novel." The Glasgow Herald "An absorbing tale of courage." The Bookseller"
