Book Reviews of A Venetian Affair: A True Tale of Forbidden Love in the 18th Century
Book Review: A bit dull
Summary: 3 Stars
I love history, and historic romances, so this seemed to fit the bill (it was a book I purchased to read on a week-long beach vacation.) It is written with great detail, but unfortunately, I couldn't make myself like this young couple, much less root for them. They seemed whiney, immature, and tiresome -- in other words, very typical of the usual teenage angst. I just couldn't maintain interest in this book.
