Inhaltsangabe

Elizabeth Fane is on the cusp of 50, but instead of celebrating with her family, she is on a plane to Italy alone, leaving behind her husband, three adult sons, and the profound rift between them.

In Italy Liz plans to prune olive trees at a convent, explore the city of Florence, and visit its ancient cathedrals. There she meets four women—five if you count the large painting of the Virgin Mary—with whom she converses regularly. While at first these conversations with the painting are ironic (and are always one-sided), eventually they turn to become another way for Liz to consider the rift between her and her family. Liz gradually reveals why she left home and sorts out what it will take for her to return. Renaissance is a story about a woman of a certain age — a novel about the end of motherhood as Liz steps out of longstanding domestic roles to find her own place in the world.
 

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Susan Fish is a writer and editor living in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada with her husband and dog and sometimes with her adult children. She has two Masters degrees, one in Religion and Culture, one in Theological Studies. Her writing has appeared in various literary and trade publications, and she has written widely for the nonprofit sector. On her first visit to Italy, Susan learned to make pasta and almost wandered into a prison while looking for the opera house. On her second trip--a whirlwind 24-hour solo research trip--she accidentally drank from the wrong water fountain, and lived to tell the tale. At home, she gets around by bicycle, hosts play-reading parties, and stays up too late reading and writing. Renaissance is her third novel.
