Caterina Capreta was an innocent girl of fourteen when she caught the attention of the worldβs most infamous chronicler of seduction: Giacomo Casanova. Intoxicated by a fierce love, she wed Casanova in secret. But his shocking betrayal inspired her to commit an act that would mark her forever . . . Now twenty years later on the island of Murano, the woman in possession of Caterinaβs most devastating secret has appeared with a request she cannot refuse: to take in a noble-born girl whose scandalous love affair resembles her own. But the girlβs presence stirs up unwelcome memories of Caterinaβs turbulent past. Tested like never before, she reveals the story of the man she will never forget . . . Bringing to life a fascinating chapter in the history of Venice, Casanovaβs Secret Wife is a tour de force that charts one womanβs journey through love and loss to redemption.
