"Like Outlander with an Italian accent." --Real Simple "A detailed
historical novel, a multifaceted mystery, and a moving tale of
improbable love." --Publishers Weekly, starred review A NEW YORK
POST MUST-READ BOOK Readers of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander and Tracy
Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring...will be swept away by the
spell of medieval Siena" (Library Journal, starred review) in this
transporting love story and gripping historical mystery.
Accomplished neurosurgeon Beatrice Trovato knows that her deep
empathy for her patients is starting to impede her work. So when
her beloved brother passes away, she welcomes the unexpected trip
to the Tuscan city of Siena to resolve his estate, even as she
wrestles with grief. But as she delves deeper into her brother's
affairs, she discovers intrigue she never imagined--a 700-year-old
conspiracy to decimate the city. As Beatrice explores the evidence
further, she uncovers the journal and paintings of the
fourteenth-century artist Gabriele Accorsi. But when she finds a
startling image of her own face, she is suddenly transported to the
year 1347. She awakens in a Siena unfamiliar to her, one that will
soon be hit by the Plague. Yet when Beatrice meets Accorsi,
something unexpected happens: she falls in love--not only with
Gabriele, but also with the beauty and cadence of medieval life. As
the Plague and the ruthless hands behind its trajectory threaten
not only her survival but also Siena's very existence, Beatrice
must decide in which century she belongs. The Scribe of Siena is
the captivating story of a brilliant woman's passionate affair with
a time and a place that captures her in an impossibly romantic and
dangerous trap--testing the strength of fate and the bonds of love.
