About this listen
Agata flees from Verona to Venice with nothing but the clothes on her back. Accused of witchcraft, she prefers to risk the unknown than face the terrifying charge. Starving and cold, she wanders the streets in search of honest work, but her efforts are fruitless. She eventually finds temporary respite in the sordid world of prostitution, but the sobering reality of human cruelty destroys her innocence.
Determined to secure her financial and social future, she aids the Veronese warlord Cangrande I della Scala in committing vile acts that will earn her a place in Hell. Although she is handsomely compensated, she wants more - and she'll do whatever it takes to get it.

Really enjoyable - narration was brilliant
This was just a complete escape and the necessary sex scenes were done tastefully. You could really tell that the author had researched the era and so it was very interesting and kept my attention throughout.
The story just flowed and you really felt for women throughout the story, so glad life is different now.
The narrator was perfect just so suited the story.
I was given a free copy by the author but this in no way influenced my review.

Absolutely brilliant
Story had me hooked from the start. Superb.
Narration was second to none.
I’ve listened to many, many books on audio. Only the second time I’ve ever written a review.
This book deserved a review.
