When Italian Renaissance professor Allison Levy takes up residency in the palazzo of her dreams - the Palazzo Rucellai in Florence - she finds herself consumed by the space and swept into the vortex of its history. She spends every waking moment in dusty Florentine libraries and exploring the palazzo's myriad rooms seeking to uncover its secrets. As she unearths the stories of those who have lived behind its celebrated façade, she discovers that it has been witness to weddings, suicides, orgies and even a murder. Entwining Levy's own experiences with the ghosts of the Palazzo Rucellai's past,House of Secretspaints a scintillating portrait of a family, a palace and one of the most iconic cities in the world.

Recenzii

One of the best chapters in the book brings [the relationship between young America and old Florence] vividly to life.
'Levy's writing is pacy and . witty, and she deploys a wide range of materials well'
House of Secretsis revelatory . Levy is a thorough and thoroughly engaging storyteller, leaving no stone of the Palazzo Rucellai unexamined . a whole memory palace embodied by the Palazzo Rucellai for which Levy - author, art historian, inhabitant - is the ideal guide.
