I'm reading a great book right now.....

In The Company Of The Courtesan by Sarah Dunant.

It's set in the early 16th century and begins with the Spanish and the Lutherans' invasion of Rome. It's an intense description, as told by the companion of Fiametta, the Courtesan, Bucino, who is a dwarf. I could almost smell the stench of the aftermath.

Elle magazine described it as "A rich surprise", and it is.

This autuor also wrote The Birth Of Venus, which I will also read when I'm finished with this one.
