In 1530, a young man travels to Modena to show Aldo Manuzio's widow his biography of the printer, but discovers that the real story is more complex. The novel recreates Renaissance Venice and the beginnings of the book trade, with Manuzio determined to publish the Greek classics amid manuscript thefts, commercial pressures, and censorship.

For readers of historical fiction interested in the world of books, printing, and the Italian Renaissance.
