PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Forbes interweaves history, art history, sin, magic and redemption into a masterful literary thriller set in Urbino (the hometown of painter Raphael) in the hill towns of Italy. Her tale follows the fate of Charlotte Penton, a very familiar example of an Englishwoman at large. She's in town to supervise the restoration of a portrait. Inexorably secrets are uncovered, some revolving around WWII, and a crime needs to be solved.
