Riassunto

His prose is often lifted with a beautiful poetic use of language Fortnight Venice, 1894: American novelist Henry James takes a night time gondola out into the Laguna to dump armfuls of a recently deceased lady s garments. Irish artist Reuben Ross accidentally witnesses this bizarre event and, as he attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding it, finds himself adrift in the city s mist-shrouded maze of canals and waterways, entangled in ghostly and political intrigues that span the American Civil War, the Irish Home Rule Crisis and the First World War. Reuben risks losing his mind as he gradually discovers there is more to drowning these gowns than the mere disposal of a deceased woman s belongings.
