Summary

A heart-wrenching and unforgettable story of two women - centuries apart - linked by the hidden secrets of a beautiful woman in a Venetian painting.

Venice 1704: Anastasia is desperate to escape her controlling father and plans to marry her childhood sweetheart. But instead of the life she has always dreamed of, she finds herself trapped in Venice, the unwilling wife of a silk weaver.

Anastasia seeks comfort in painting and draws strength from her talents. Despite her circumstances, two women reach out to her and give Anastasia a reason to hope. And together they make a momentous decision which will change all of their lives....

London 2017: Millie wants more from her relationship and more from her life. So when her boss Max abruptly ends their affair, she takes the opportunity to write a feature in Italy.

Staying in a gorgeous villa, Millie unexpectedly falls in love with the owner, Lorenzo. Together they begin to unravel an incredible story passed down through generations of women.

And Millie finds herself compelled to discover the identity of a mysterious woman in a portrait....

A richly evocative story about lost secrets, family heirlooms and love against all odds. The Silk Weaver’s Wife is perfect for listeners who enjoyed Island of Secrets, The Secret Wife and Amy Snow.

The awful Italian accents sounding German. Narrator not the best at accents

A very good story about the like of the silk weavers daughter but the English girls story was crass and could’ve been better. I felt her story was used to fill chapters. I found myself speeding up the English girl story to get back to the silk weavers wife story 🤦‍♀️
Narration was lovely when speaking English but absolutely atrocious at speaking Italian. I really wish I’d saved my credit
