When all of Venice is unmasked, one man's identity remains a
mystery . . . 1807 When a baby is discovered floating in a basket
along the quiet canals of Venice, a guild of artisans takes him in
and raises him as a son, skilled in each of their trades. Although
the boy, Sebastien Trovato, has wrestled with questions of his
origins, it isn't until a woman washes ashore on his lagoon island
that answers begin to emerge. In hunting down his story, Sebastien
must make a choice that could alter not just his own future, but
also that of the beloved floating city. 1904 Daniel Goodman is
given a fresh start in life as the century turns. Hoping to redeem
a past laden with regrets, he is sent on an assignment from
California to Venice to procure and translate a rare book. There,
he discovers a city of colliding hope and decay, much like his own
life, and a mystery wrapped in the pages of that filigree-covered
volume. With the help of Vittoria, a bookshop keeper, Daniel finds
himself in a web of shadows, secrets, and discoveries carefully
kept within the stones and canals of the ancient city . . . and in
the mystery of the man whose story the book does not finish:
Sebastien Trovato. "Introspective, surprising, and achingly
beautiful."--Booklist starred review "Dykes's pen is fused with
magic and poetry. Every word's a gentle wave building into the
splendor that is All the Lost Places, where struggles for identity
and a place to belong find hope between the pages of a timeless
story."--J'NELL CIESIELSKI, bestselling author of The Socialite
"Luscious writing, authentic characters, and an ending that
satisfies to the core of the spirit, this novel is another winner
from Amanda Dykes."--HEIDI CHIAVAROLI, Carol Award-winning author
of Freedom's Ring and Hope Beyond the Waves
