Historical
Sofia is trained in secret as a painter in her father’s
workshop during a time when women did not paint openly. She
loves her work, but her restless spirit leads her to betray
her extraordinary gifts to marry a man who comes to despise
her for not producing a son. After Sofia’s father is crushed by his own fresco during an
attack motivated by a vendetta, Sofia realizes she must
escape her loveless marriage. She flees to Siena, where,
disguised as a boy, she paints again. When her work attracts
the notice of a nobleman who discovers the woman under the
dirty smock, Sofia is faced with a choice that nearly
destroys her. Meticulously researched settings and compelling characters
are united with a strong heroine in this rich portrait of
medieval Italy. Revised edition: This edition of The Towers of
Tuscany includes editorial revisions.
