Be prepared for major leaps in time at the beginning of each chapter, while exploring the changes within the human life span of Orsola Rosso who, as a woman, is not considered fit to become a true glassmaker but only a beadmaker. Through Chevalier’s thorough research into the history of Venice and Murano, the reader learns so much about the glassmaker’s craft. Like Venice, Orsola endures everything, including the absence of the great love of her life.
