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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Spellbound by Gio’s revelations, Rose and William are soon forced to confront the reality of their own mystifying connection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA richly detailed page-turner shadowed by one of history’s darkest times, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Diary of Venice\u003c\/i\u003e weaves a heartbreakingly vivid portrait of two vastly different worlds—and two tales of entrancing, unrelenting love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargaux DeRoux\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Juneau, Alaska.
