«Amor y muerte en Florencia» is the historical novel by Sarah Dunant, published by Debolsillo in hardback (384 pages, in Spanish).
In 1492, young Alessandra Cecchi, daughter of a Florentine cloth merchant, is fascinated by a painter decorating the family chapel. Between the splendour of the Renaissance and Savonarola's sermons, the novel interweaves passion, art and religion, and addresses the female condition.
The work was originally published in 2003 as The Birth of Venus; the 2005 Spanish edition corresponds to volume 1 of the Best Seller collection.
For readers of historical fiction set in the Renaissance, with a female protagonist who defies the conventions of her time.
