(3) YA Before his death, their father, a respected glassblower, declared that younger daughter Maria marry Venetian nobility, leaving elder Giovanna to stay on Murano with the family. The sisters each long for the other's future (and suitor); creative ingenuity allows for a satisfying resolution. A vivid fifteenth-century Venetian setting, true-to-life family tensions, and fairy-tale romance complete this novel told in elegant verse. Glos.
