Varnished Faces: Star-Cross'd Short Stories

By David Blixt

Book Overview

Some stories are part of a grand narrative. Some are small, insular, intimate. But no less deserving to be told. Collected here are several short stories from both Verona and the world outside its walls - Vicenza, Padua, Venice, and Avignon. These pieces of the acclaimed Star-Cross'd series, taken together, form a tapestry of life, love, and longing in early Renaissance Italy. These stories have at their heart the false faces people wear to hide their true selves. Like the Venetian Carnivale masks, they are hardened, often grotesque, always mischievous. These are the Varnished Faces.
