The birth of Venus

Dunant, Sarah. (Author).

Summary: Alessandra Cecchi is not quite fifteen when her father, a prosperous merchant, brings a young painter back from northern Europe to decorate the chapel walls in the family's Florentine palazzo. Alessandra is drawn into the life of a city where the new freedoms of the mind rub shoulders with the old sins of the flesh. When Savonarola begins to exert control over the city of Florence, Alessandra must make the choices of her life and retain her individuality.
