Venetian's Wife

Book Review   by:SexyNomad     Original Author: Nick Bantock
ª
 
This book is
about Sara. She's quiet, reserved and set in her ways. Yet, lately, she's been
feeling quite trapped in her little world, being a conservationist in a certain
museum. She's somehow yearning to get out of her shell, travel and do some
exciting things that she has never done before. All these, she confides in her
computer diary. Recently, she came across a painting of Shiva (one of the
Indian goddesses), and events, both ethereal and preclusive, started unfolding.



Niccollo Conti
on the other hand, serves as the missing piece at the other end of
this esoteric equation. He lived in the 15th century, yet still found a way to
exist amidst our reality. Is he a specter? a descendant? A crazy old man
trying to lure Sara into a collusion of some kind? All he wants is to complete
his wife's collection of missing Indian artifacts of gods and goddesses.
His reasons far outweigh whatever harm it could cause little Ms. Sara.
And as the two begin to meet, the magical powers of the missing pieces slowly
unfold and engulf Sara in a way that will change her life forever.

This book is a
definite must-read for people who would like to escape their reality for a
while. The story is fast-paced and can be finished in under an hour. Yet, after
reading it, you'd feel like you've traveled far and wide for ages. It will
leave you with fire and hunger for life. Don't miss it!
