Immortali (Paperback)

Described by the author as 'a Renaissance soap opera', Immortali is a late 16th century feast of pleasure and pain, exploring mysticism and heresy, tensions and jealousies, illusion and reality, smouldering passion and murderous intrigue. In telling the story of young Giulia Olivieri, enthralled by the mesmerising theatrical troupe Immortali and seduced by its 'most cherished son', the magnetic Arlecchino, Lewington has created a world that is both emotionally familiar, and as strangely exotic and heady as a Venetian perfume.
