Star-crossed lovers with a costly secret. As the plague grips Venice, more than a quarantine divides them....
Venice, 1510. Maria Bartolini wants nothing more than to carry on her father's legacy as a master gilder. Instead, her father has sent her away from the only home she's ever known to train as an apprentice to Master Trevisan, a renowned painter.
Maria arranges to leave the painter's workshop to return to her family workshop and to a secret lover waiting for her back home. But the encroaching Black Death foils her plans....
When the painter's servants uncover the real reason why Maria has been sent away to train with Master Trevisan, they threaten to reveal a secret that could tear down her family and the future of their trade. She is forced to buy the servants' silence, but as their greed steadily grows, Maria resorts to more desperate measures. She questions whether her heart's desire is worth risking her family, her trade, and her future, but Maria's sacrifices may amount to nothing if the plague arrives on her father's doorstep and steals away everything she's ever loved....
From the author of the award-winning The Gondola Maker comes a rich tale of Renaissance Venice, a heroine with a lust for life, and love against all odds.
Buy The Painter's Apprentice today to transport yourself to the vibrant and dangerous world of 16th-century Venice....

Laura Morelli meticulously researched the subject matter and time period, so everything feels very authentic, but the book could've used a little more time spent on plot and characters. The story is fairly one-dimensional and predictable, as are the characters. It could've used an additional editor, as well. The writing is excellent for the most part, but there's a great deal of repetition and passive writing. However, these are nitpicks. If you like star-crossed love stories, the setting, time period or art history, I recommend this book.

Fascinating Book!

In a few spots, modern phrases popped out of nowhere during dialog, such as, "Why on earth would I do that?" and "If you tell anyone about this, I swear..." and "I know it sounds absurd..."
If you can overlook a few of the books nuances and if you have a free weekend to relax with a gently paced book, rich in historical detail, this is a fine choice.
Decent book if you can overlook a few quirks
