DAUGHTER OF SIENA

Book ID/图书代码： 12691011B45092

English Summary/英文概要： The Palio: Siena’s famously dangerous and hard-fought horse race. A year of planning, ten riders, three circuits of the piazza - and all over in a single moment. But this year, for two of the women watching, far more than the coveted prize is at stake. For Pia of the Tolomei, the most beautiful woman in Siena, the Palio is her last hope of escaping a violent marriage. For Violante de Medici, it marks the start of what her enemies intend to be her last month as governess of the city. Isolated in her palace, surrounded by conspirators, she must find the courage to uncover a plot that threatens her very existence. The trumpets sound. And into the piazza rides an unknown horseman, clad in the colours of the Tower contrada. What he does during the race will not only change the lives of Pia and Violante, but alter the course of the Medici dynasty itself. Alive with all the colour and rich historical detail that marks Marina Fiorato’s work, Daughter of Siena is a dramatic and compelling story of treachery, courage and the power of love.

Awards/获奖情况：’Fiorato’s blend of action, political machination, and romance makes for a fast-paced read.’ Historical Novels Review

“The rich heritage of Siena is shown in all its facets,with scenes moving from formal staterooms and candle-lit cathedrals to dirty stables and macabre dungeons. The rich apricot silk gown on the cover reveals only part of the tale. Like the Palio itself, The Daughters of Siena is an exciting entertainment steeped in local color and years of cultural traditions.” - Sarah Johnson, Reading the Past
