Did Shakespeare pen a series of passionate sonnets, unknown to modern scholarship, ardently praising a mysterious dark-haired beauty? This tantalizing question is raised in a letter to literature professor Rose Asher. But the letter’s author, Rose’s star pupil, is not telling. A troubled, enigmatic young man, he plunged to his death in front of the college’s entire faculty, an apparent suicide. Determined to find the truth, Rose journeys from New York to Italy, back to the magnificent Tuscan villa where as an undergraduate she first fell in love. La Civetta is a dreamlike place, resplendent with the heady scent of lemon trees and the sunset’s ocher wash across its bricks and cobbles. Once there Rose finds her first love still in residence. Torn between her mission and her rekindled feelings, Rose becomes enmeshed in a treacherous tangle of secrets and scandal. A folio containing what some believe to be one of Shakespeare’s lost sonnets has vanished, and literary immortality awaits whoever finds the manuscript–as do a vast Italian estate and a Hollywood movie deal. Uncertain whom she can trust and where she can turn, Rose races against time and unseen enemies in a bid to find the missing masterpiece. Lush, lyrical, and enthralling, The Sonnet Lover vividly brings to life the Tuscan countryside and the fascinating world of the Renaissance poets. Unmatched in her ability to evoke atmosphere and intrigue, Carol Goodman delivers her most ambitious and satisfying work to date, a seductive novel that skillfully propels its reader headlong to the final suspenseful page. 6606568 book 12 6 2007 The Sonnet Lover total:292|5:4|4:6|3:4|2:1|1:1| 292 1043 496 61 3 2 false false Fri Apr 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 12 11:39:46 -0700 2007 Fri Apr 17 20:55:17 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Fri Feb 29 09:51:11 -0800 2008 Sat Aug 09 07:38:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Oct 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 17:49:15 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 17:52:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Dec 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 06:09:06 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 06 05:50:30 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue May 06 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 12 20:48:45 -0700 2008 Wed May 07 12:14:45 -0700 2008
