Following the end of World War I, a British diplomat decides not to return to his sham marriage in London and stays instead in Venice, where he lives among his Italian friends and explores the vagaries of his own heart.
Review:
'A wonderfully compelling tale of death and love along Venice’s fabled waterway' -- Andrea di Robilant
'Rivière has evoked Venice beautifully... [He] demonstrates an insider's knowledge of Italian life.' -- Daily Telegraph
'Written with elegance and wit, this novel summons the dreamscapes of Venice in a magically evocative language.' -- Good Book Guide
