Costanza
History calls her a Muse. Temptress. Fallen woman. This is her story.
Based on real-life events this debut novel tells the story of Costanza Piccolomini’s love affair and subsequent downfall at the hands of one of the world’s best-known artists, Lorenzo Bernini
When Bernini unveils his sculpture of Costanza it marks the beginning of a scandal which will rock Roman society. For Bernini would rather destroy Costanza than let her go.
Betrayed. Abandoned. Banished. This was meant to be the end of Costanza’s story. But Costanza is no ordinary woman: from the ashes, she will rise …
Costanza is a dizzying and sensual historical novel that brings to life a feminist icon who has been written out of history.
