Robert wants nothing more than to become a serious art historian. But his hopes for an academic life are put on hold when he’s driven from London to Venice to escape one lover and seek out another: the enigmatic Bulgarian refugee Lina Pancev. In Venice, Robert encounters a grand carnival of lust, lies, blackmail, cocktail parties and regicide. As he chases Lina, his heart’s desire, the city itself provides a priceless education in love, art and beauty.
