Recensione:

“Like Fra Filippo’s paintings, this love story, set in one of the most intriguing historical periods, is suffused with clear, warm color and fine attention to detail.” (Debra Dean, author of The Madonnas of Leningrad)

“This novel based on the life of Fra Filippo Lippi will be lapped up by fans of historical romance.” (Publishers Weekly on MIRACLES OF PRATO)

“The Miracles of Prato is a time machine, taking the reader back to the height of the Italian Renaissance, revealing a world of childlike innocence and illicit passion, harsh injustice and saintly miracles, and wafting around it all like rare perfume, the creation of art for the glory of God.” (Eleanor Herman, author of Mistress of the Vatican, on MIRACLES OF PRATO)

“A richly detailed and thoroughly engrossing story told with equal measures of ardor, tenderness, and compassion, THE MIRACLES OF PRATO offers a poignant portrayal of the heartbreak of two people caught in the Church’s grip during the Italian Renaissance.” (Judith Lindbergh, author of The Thrall’s Tale, on MIRACLES OF PRATO)

“Richly textured Renaissance romance. ...[T]he authors have fashioned an irresistibly passionate novel steeped in art, history, and the miracles wrought by love.” (Booklist on MIRACLES OF PRATO)
