GLASSMAKER (PB)

The year – for now – is 1486. Across the lagoon from Venice 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. In Tracy Chevalier’s new novel, we follow Orsola through hundreds of years of war and plague, tragedy and triumph, love and loss.
