From Library Journal:
Trapped in a marriage of convenience, Victoria Peretti, whose beauty rivals that of Helen of Troy, is ripe for the picking when larger-than-life Prince Orsini comes calling. Their fight for happiness in 16th-century Italy, where women are chattels, and adultery is punishable by death, is narrated by no less than 20 individuals. The old adage, "too many cooks spoil the broth," certainly applies here, as what could have been a compelling story is fragmented and weakened. In his preface, French author Merle, who wrote the popular Day of the Dolphin ( LJ 5/1/69), informs us that the real Vittoria was sadly underestimated as a person, since "female beauty was overvalued in a male dominated society." Unfortunately, after reading this limp and often tedious story, all we remember about Vittoria is just that, her beauty. Not recommended.
