About this book

Heiress to a Jewish banking dynasty, secretary to the world-renowned Isabella d'Este, married to the Pope's Jewish body physician, and lover of the Christian Lord Pirro Gonzaga, Grazia dei Rossi is a woman suspended between two cultures, forced to choose between two men, two worlds. Inspired by an actual letter from the period, author Jacqueline Park has created an unforgettable heroine - a girl unafraid to petition a duke on behalf of an errant father, a woman unafraid to risk the scorn of her family for love.
