All The Lost Places By Amanda Dykes from Bethany House Publishing. When all of Venice is unmasked, one man's identity remains a mystery . . .
1807
When a baby is discovered floating in a basket along the quiet canals of Venice, a guild of artisans takes him in and raises him as a son, skilled in each of their trades.
Although the boy, Sebastien Trovato, has wrestled with questions of his
origins, it isn't until a woman washes ashore on his lagoon island that answers
begin to emerge. In hunting down his story, Sebastien must make a choice that
could alter not just his own future, but also that of the beloved floating
city.
1904
Daniel Goodman is
given a fresh start in life as the century turns. Hoping to redeem a past laden
with regrets, he is sent on an assignment from California to Venice to procure
and translate a rare book. There, he discovers a city of colliding hope and
decay, much like his own life, and a mystery wrapped in the pages of that
filigree-covered volume. With the help of Vittoria, a bookshop keeper, Daniel
finds himself in a web of shadows, secrets, and discoveries carefully kept
within the stones and canals of the ancient city . . . and in the mystery of
the man whose story the book does not finish: Sebastien Trovato.
My Opinion: With
breathtaking imagery and emotive symbolism, Amanda has spun a truly magical
story that whisks you away on an unforgettable journey through the canals of
Venice. This is the story of two men, Sebastian who is searching for his
parents and wants to know why he was left in a basket, and Daniel, who wants to
make up for the sins of his past.
