Birth of Venus

By Sarah Dunant
A beautiful and clever novel set in 1490s Florence. I will definitely read more by this author (someday). There were many clever lines, but I didn't mark them because I was reading fast. There was one that I took the time to stop and mark and will share...
"I was one of the crowd who spread the rumor around the square that day. And thus did I learn something of how history is written: that while it is not always accurate, One can still be a part of the making of it."
So true.
