American book-conservator Margot Harrington, on a trip to Florence, finds a volume of erotic drawings and sonnets in the library of an Italian convent.

Publisher's Note
"I was twenty-nine years old when the Arno flooded its banks on Friday 4 November 1966. On Tuesday I decided to go to Italy, to offer my services as a humble book conservator, to save whatever could be saved, including myself."The Italians called them "Mud Angels," the young foreigners who came to Florence in 1966 to save the citys treasured art from the Arno's flooded banks. American volunteer Margot Harrington was one of them, finding her niche in the waterlogged library of a Carmelite convent. For within its walls she discovered a priceless Renaissance masterwork: a sensuous volume of sixteen erotic poems and drawings.Inspired to sample each of the ineffable sixteen pleasures, Margot embarks on the intrigue of a lifetime with a forbidden lover and the contraband volume--a sensual, life-altering journey of loss and rebirth in this exquisite novel of spiritual longing and earthly desire.
A national bestseller, this beautifully written novel of intrigue and erotica--set against the enchanting backdrop of Florence, Italy--will transport the reader into a lyrical, picturesque world. It is a rare gem of a novel about a woman who changes her life by taking an unforgettable trip to Florence.

Industry reviews
"A terrific, swift novel about being in love with Italy, Italian art, and Italians. If there's such a thing as an art thriller, this is it."
John Casey 

"This novel offers the reader a luxurious feast of pleasures--many, many more than sixteen."
Tillie Olsen
