FROM THE GLOBALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING

Venice, 1486.

Across the lagoon lies Murano. Time flows differently here – like the glass the island’s maestros spend their lives perfecting.

In secret, Orsola Rosso learns to craft glass. As a woman, she must flout convention to save her family from ruin. We follow her through hundreds of years of war and plague, tragedy and triumph, love and loss.

Skipping like a stone across the centuries, The Glassmaker is a virtuoso portrait of a woman, a family and a city that are as everlasting as glass.

Juliet Aubrey's voice is perfect for this wonderful novel, I am sure I will listen to again and again.

A compelling story beautifully read

I loved this novel. It spans hundreds of years but follows the same family. You really get a sense of how hard the glass trade is. Ursula is a wonderful protagonist and I really enjoyed following her life. A great read/listen.

A legend about Venice

The idea is very good. So are the story lines, although a bit repetitive. I wonder if it wouldn't have been more interesting if Orsula would have been the same age in all the various times. I also think that the introduction to the various times in history is superfluous. And the end too soppy. Not her best book but I still enjoyed it.

Very good reading

Mit Genuss und Interesse bin ich mit Orsola durch die Zeiten gewandert. Die Idee, die Familie vor dem Hintergrund verschiedener Zeitalter zu begleiten, fand ich großartig, und die Geschichte blieb trotzdem übersichtlich. Ich fand die distanzierte Erzählweise und die unendliche Modulation der Sprecherin fantastisch. Das Englisch und das Italienisch, beides ein Genuss.

Wunderbares Bilderbuch

The Glassmaker had everything going for it — Venice, Murano, slow aging, centuries of history. I expected magic, depth, atmosphere. Instead, the story drifts along like a gondola with no oar.

Ursula, who lives 500 years, has the emotional range of a tepid cup of tea. She never questions her immortality, never risks anything, never does anything. Venice — a city made of myth and salt — becomes mere backdrop. Every chance for mystery or drama is quietly abandoned.

Even the love story fizzles. Antonio could have been her great passion; instead he becomes a footnote with a symbolic dolphin.

The only strong parts are the Murano craft details and the Venetian banter — sparks in a book that needed fire.

In short: a beautiful idea that never wakes up.

The lack. Of real. Character development of the protagonist
