Book
The glassmaker : a novel / Tracy Chevalier.
"Follow a family of glassmakers from the height of Renaissance-era Italy to the present day. Venice, 1486. Across the lagoon lies Murano. Time flows differently here -- like the glass the island's maestros spend their lives learning to handle. Orsola Rosso is the eldest daughter in a family of glassblowers. As a woman, she is not meant to work with glass -- but she has the hands for it, the heart, and a vision. When her father dies, she teaches herself to make glass beads in secret, and her work boosts the Rosso family fortune. Skipping like a stone through the centuries, we follow Orsola and her family as they live through creative triumph and heartbreaking loss, from a plague devastating Venice to Continental soldiers stripping its palazzos bare, from the domination of Murano and its glass maestros to the transformation of the city of trade into a city of tourists. In every era, the Rosso women ensure that their work, and their bonds, endure." -- Provided by dustjacket.
