bookilotty 's review for:

Costanza by Rachel Blackmore
4.5
fast-paced
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A fascinating and traumatic look into the life of Costanza, known as Bernini's muse. The real story clearly may have been a lot more sinister than art historians interpret. What started out as a romantic historical love story, soon turned dark and the reasons the author wrote this make for such a poignant afterthought.
