A Renaissance-era mystery unravels through the deft fingertips of debut author Lina Ellina in this story-within-a story, linking present day characters to history's most romantic intrigues. A king's wedding and a present day chef's holiday are interwoven beautifully as details emerge about an intergenerational connection as delicate and rare as the Italian and Cypriot landscapes that form the backdrop for this literary rumination on life, love, food, and fellowship.
