Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Two impossible love stories are fatefully connected by one artistic legacy in a stunning debut that leaps between the mysteries of late-Renaissance Venice and the dramas of present-day America. "Enchanting from the first page."--Sarah Jio, New York Times bestselling author of All the Flowers in Paris In the wake of her father's death, Rose Newlin finds solace in her work as a book restorer. Then, one rainy Connecticut afternoon, a struggling painter appears at her door. William Lomazzo brings with him a sixteenth-century treatise on art, which Rose quickly identifies as a palimpsest: a document written over a hidden diary that had purposely been scraped away. Yet the restoration sparks an unforeseen challenge when William--a married man--and Rose experience an instant, unspoken attraction. Five centuries earlier, Renaissance-era Venetians find themselves at the mercy of an encroaching Ottoman fleet preparing for a bloody war. Giovanni Lomazzo, a portrait artist grappling with tragedy, discovers that his vision is fading with each passing day. Facing the possibility of a completely dark world, Gio begins to document his every encounter, including what may be his final artistic feat: a commission to paint the enchanting courtesan of one of Venice's most powerful military commanders. Soon, however, Gio finds himself enraptured by a magnificent forbidden love. Spellbound by Gio's revelations, Rose and William are soon forced to confront the reality of their own mystifying connection. A richly detailed page-turner shadowed by one of history's darkest times, The Lost Diary of Venice weaves a heartbreakingly vivid portrait of two vastly different worlds--and two tales of entrancing, unrelenting love.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. AWARD-WINNING Finalist in the Fiction: MULTICULTURAL category of the 2019 Best Book Awards by American Book Fest. When Nila comes to America, she ventures to this strange land on a dependent visa, a wife in an arranged marriage she had no control over. Now faceless in a lonely world, she drifts amongst the clouds and people, learning a culture she never expected while desperately trying to hold on to her own. There is sorrow and joy, adventure, and loss, but above all, there is love.Written from the heart and mind of the displaced, Nila's story explores what it means to be a voyager through the unknown, an immigrant in a land of immigrants, each vying for a place and a home. It speaks to a connection while baring the soul of the global society we have created. Culture, assimilation, love, and pain all come together in a lyrical wonder that will make you cry, warm your heart, and stir your soul. one that will stay with you long after the final page is closed. Who is Nila?If you are wondering who Nila is or who she is to me, I have no simple answer. I met herthrough the lines scribbled on a journal left on a park bench one summer afternoon. Did sheleave it on purpose for me to find? I'll never know. maybe it was fate, that it is destined forsomething beyond what she could handle.In my journey through those immersing pages, I wandered through her mind which neverseemed to rest. I traveled wherever it took me. I learned a lot about her, in fact, perhaps morethan anyone who knew her and maybe even more than she knew herself. Some of those pages carried the scent of jasmine and roses. When I closed my eyes, I could smell the same flower she breathed and felt them blooming all around me. Some of the words she wrote were blurred. Circles of tears had made tiny dents in the paper. I tried to be like her, to see the faces she saw, to listen to the voices she heard. Some pages never wanted to be turned and I would stare at them for hours before I could move on. Along with her childhood memories, Nila had kept a dry banyan tree leaf, and a tiny piece of a peacock feather. She would dream and wish that the feather would split into two and then keep multiplying. The beauty becoming a part of her.Nila is not just a sari-cladded faceless girl from South Asia. She is beyond any definitionof anything that divides us. She is one amongst us and could even be a part of us all. Oncewe know her, she cannot be separated from us. Let's give her a face. a face we loveand use it to replace the fences we have created between us.Life in a Faceless World is a New Age Literary Fiction that is Enlightening, Uplifting, Motivational and Inspirational Readers can also discover the secret to Happiness, and realize Personal Transformation through Self-Improvement and Positive Thinking.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. International Internet guru Lilou, a.k.a. 'Big L', believes that we can create anything we want using the power of our thoughts (as revealed in The Secret). Drawn to the USA from France, she used this law, called the Law of Attraction, to co-found the '100-Day Reality Challenge' community, build a following of thousands of YouTubers, and meet Oprah Winfrey, someone she greatly admires. Now she's in London and she's lost her job. The time has come to test her beliefs to the limit: at a time of global crisis can she use the Law of Attraction to nd her dream job, and thereby 'empower millions' to do likewise? This is her 30-day stream-of-consciousness diary, from the moment she was sacked. Travel with her as she grapples with doubt, relishes avocados and nds something to be grateful for in each and every step of her journey. Deploying a battery of mood-shifting, life-enhancing, and possibly reality-changing techniques, she attempts to prove to herself - and to you - that a juicier way of living is possible. While 30-something Lilou would probably get on with the fictional Bridget Jones, her real-life diary is a very different thing. Humble, moving, funny and perceptive, it demonstrates the style of leadership she believes the world desperately needs. If Lilou's approach works, this book might just be The Survival Guide for Our Times, and she the spokesperson of a revolution. Read it, and, most importantly, try it out.…

For decades it languished in an unclaimed trunk in the basement of a prewar building on Manhattan's Upper West Side, until it was tossed in a dumpster and recovered by journalist Lily Koppel. As she opened the diary's worn leather-bound cover, Koppel had no idea that she was about to embark on a wondrous journey back in time, to a lost New York in which women of privilege met for tea at Schrafft's, danced at the Hotel Pennsylvania, and toasted the night at El Morocco.Nor did she expect to be captivated by a headstrong and beautiful young woman who loved to play the piano, paint portraits and write poetry. Compelled by the hopes and dreams, drama and heartbreak captured in the diary's pages, Koppel set out to find it's original owner, the words, 'This book belongs to Florence Wolfson' the only clue. One day, a chance call by a private investigator leads Koppel to Wolfson, now 90 years old, living in Connecticut with her husband of 67 years.
