Plot Summary of The Innamorati
"In an alternate Italian renaissance, there is a maze in Labirinto. It is said that those who are cursed can enter the maze and, if they can successfully navigate it, leave their curses behind them. A number of people - a maskmaker and her daughter and lover, a stuttering actor, a beggar, a fighter, a whore, a fool, a priest - come to Labirinto and to the maze. A brilliantly-written book. "
Ivy, Resident Scholar
