ABOUT THE
BOOK
|
|
When
a friend dies, Julia Garnet goes to stay in Venice, where a lifetime of
caution is challenged. She encounters paintings in the local church which
tell the story of Tobias and the Angel. The ancient tale of Tobias, who
travels to Media unaware that he is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael,
unfolds alongside Julia Garnet's contemporary journey. As she unravels
the story's history, Julia's own life is thrown into question, for, like
the shifting sea-light of Venice, nothing here is quite as it seems. A
story of love, death and the growth of the human spirit.
