Marina Fiorato is half-Venetian. She was born in Manchester and raised in the Yorkshire Dales. She is a history graduate of Oxford University and the University of Venice, where she specialized in the study of Shakespeare’s plays as an historical source. After University she studied art and since worked as an illustrator, actress and film reviewer. She also designed tour visuals for rock bands including U2 and the Rolling Stones. She was married on the Grand Canal and lives in North London with her husband, son and daughter.
Young widow Simonetta tries to rebuild her family in 16th century Saronno, tuscany, following the death of her husband in one of the battles ravaging the land. In pursuit of a means to keep her estate together, she stumbles upon a new drink made by inffusing almonds with alcohol. At the same time, she encounters Bernadino, the protege of Leonardo da Vinci. What follows is a glorious story of passion, betrayal, warfare and bravery.

英國小說一嚮給人優雅柔美的感覺,菲歐拉托的這本《杏仁樹下的聖母瑪利亞》也不例外。作者自言,小說創意來自迪沙朗諾杏仁酒的傳說。小說中因戰爭失去丈夫的年輕貌美的寡婦西濛內塔-迪沙朗諾與達芬奇弟子貝納爾迪諾-盧伊尼之間的愛情。原本花花公子的貝納爾迪諾-盧伊尼對西濛內...
評分很久沒有寫書評瞭,也是因為很久沒有遇到會讓我感動地敲下鍵盤上一個個拼音,來贊美一本書的衝動瞭。仿佛在人間行走多日,難免心上布滿瞭冷眼旁觀、默然於世的那些灰塵,隨著作者的動人筆觸,都悄然散開瞭。 我又觸碰到自己溫暖的心,那是愛的溫度,是希望的光芒,...

評分看這本書的時候有點囫圇吞棗——我無法在一部通俗小說麵前以一種看聖經的心情去看。正在吃街邊牛雜檔時,就得髒兮兮、大口吃纔能酣暢淋灕,可彆叫我正襟危坐細嚼慢咽。在一開始調侃達芬奇和濛娜麗莎的微笑的時候,這種戲謔的態度就定瞭下來,後麵就再也改不瞭瞭。一個帖子再嚴...
