From the globally acclaimed author of Girl with a Pearl Earring
Venice, 1486.
Across the lagoon lies Murano. Time flows differently here – like the glass the island's maestros spend their lives perfecting.
In secret, Orsola Rosso learns to craft glass. As a woman, she must flout convention to save her family from ruin. We follow her through hundreds of years of war and plague, tragedy and triumph, love and loss.
Skipping like a stone across the centuries, The Glassmaker is a virtuoso portrait of a woman, a family and a city that are as everlasting as glass.
