About this listen

Step into the vibrant world of 16th century Murano, Italy, where the lives of master glass-blowers Zorzi Ballarin and Angelo Beroviero unfold in a thrilling tale of passion and ambition. While rooted in history, this captivating narrative weaves together fact and fiction, showcasing their remarkable contributions to the art of glass-making, including the creation of the crystal we cherish today. The infamous letter penned by the jealous Giovanni Beroviero that led to Zorzis trial remains a testament to the intrigue of the era. Although Arisa, the enchanting Georgian slave mistress, is a fictional character, the trade of beautiful Eastern slaves in Italy is a stark reality of the time. Amidst a patriarchal society where womens voices were stifled, the gondolas gliding through the canals and the majestic palaces of Venice provide a stunning backdrop for this relentless story. Join author Francis M. Crawford as he delivers a gripping tale filled with suspense and romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
