Mdyousuf Biswas yousuf71 — The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant tells the story of a young woman in Florence in the late 1400s. She is well-educated and an artist which is unusual for women in that time. Her desire is to be alone to study and draw but societal conventions and her family’s position determine that her fate be either marriage or the convent. When Florence is threatened by the French army, she is forced to make a quick decision on her future. With the invasion looming, the city’s clergy is preaching that the sinfulness and profligacy of the people have brought them to this terrible moment in their history. The citizens are in fear of the conflict and their possible damnation in the afterlife. The sermons are full of ranting against the bad influence of art, secular learning and pleasure. This topic is timely so it added extra zing to this intriguing novel that I have recommended to many people.

Nora Gasparik gsprk — If you're a fan of fairy tales and believe you're never too old to read one, then I can't recommend this to you more. It really is wonderful. Definitely reads like an earlier work of Gaiman, so if you're expecting the calibre of Anansi Boys or American Gods, you may be disappointed. It's not that kind of story. But it's really wonderful and sweet and enchanting. Be warned - from what I've seen of the movie (trailers, et al), I don't think they are covering the book completely faithfully. But we'll see.

Amod Chavan _mod_havan — I usually don't like fantasy, or any books in which the plot couldn't really happen, but I loved this book!

You Ting cchjh951585f5a — I've come to terms with the fact that this guy writes books that are about half as long as they should be. He skims along the surface of lives, taking shallow scoops every few years or decades. I should be more annoyed by this, but what can I say? He's a hell of a writer.
