The Lover's Path:
an illustrated novel

The Lover's Path, a moving tale of forbidden love, is a feminist epic told in multiple layers. Filamena Ziani is the much younger sister of the most famous courtesan in sixteenth-century Venice. Orphaned as an infant, Filamena has come of age bent like a branch to her sister's will. Then a dark-haired stranger offers a gift that will change the course of her life forever: a single ripe plum, and an invitation to walk along the lover's path, wherever it may lead. Through a novel combination of narrative, famous love stories , sumptuous illustrations, and "actual" letters, Filomena's path is beautifully described and stunningly revealed.

Hardcover, 144 pages with full color illustrations, 5.5 x 7". Full color dust jacket with gold ink.
