“This intriguing debut novel quickly charms the reader into a magical world...”

–Library Journal

“A Stopover in Venice is radiant with mystery, romance and history. Nel Everett, in the tradition of Americans abroad, is transformed by the enigmatic city and its alluring characters–both living and dead. Nel–subtle, perceptive, and witty–in flight from a suffocating marriage, discovers the elusiveness of understanding the present, as well as the past, in this brilliant novel of retracing and discovery.”

–Susanna Moore, author of The Big Girls and In the Cut
Kathryn Walker’s beautifully written story of parallel discovery and restoration is powered by searing insights into the costs of love and loss. Longing leads to the recognition of the “mysterious gifts concealed in the dark folds of pain." The results are joyous.”
–Amy Hempel, author of Reasons to Live and The Dog of the Marriage
