Il risveglio di Isabella

By Melissa Muldoon

“Il risveglio di Isabella” di Melissa Muldoon intreccia le storie di tre donne legate da Arezzo, Italia, e il mistero di un quadro perduto. La tragedia rinascimentale di Isabella de’ Medici, la ricerca di Nora nella contemporaneità per la guarigione e la sua passione per l’arte, e gli sforzi di Margherita durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale per proteggere l’arte dai nazisti tessono una narrativa di perdita, scoperta e redenzione. Evidenziando temi di emancipazione femminile e l’influenza senza tempo dell’arte, il romanzo celebra le connessioni attraverso le epoche con un ricco mix di storia, mistero e amore per l’Italia.

“Waking Isabella” by Melissa Muldoon intertwines the stories of three women linked by Arezzo, Italy, and a lost painting’s mystery. Isabella de’ Medici’s Renaissance tragedy, Nora’s modern quest for healing and passion for art, and Margherita’s WWII efforts to protect art from Nazis weave a narrative of loss, discovery, and redemption. Highlighting themes of female empowerment and art’s timeless influence, the novel celebrates connections across eras with a rich blend of history, mystery, and love for Italy.
