To Ken Howard and Dora Bertolutti for letting
us stay in their wonderful Venetian home. To Mario and Michela at Ca’macana, and to Susanna Ensom at Flavia for answering all my questions about the magical world of mask making.
To Clare Donovan and Benita Brown for having so many wonderful Italian facts at their fingertips! Also to Stephen Bowden and all at FAW for encouragement and friendship. And to Catriona, Giselle, Henriette, Deborah, Hsin-Yi and Sue.
To Val, Pat, Tonia, Francoise, Kassandra, Carol, Barbara, Jennifer and Amarjit for sharing the great pleasure of writing.
And many many thanks to my wonderful friends in Germany: Frauke, Carola, Brigitte, Doris and all at Diana Verlag.
And to my wonderful husband Roy for carrying my laptop around Venice for me!
Victoria Connelly was brought up in Norfolk and studied English literature at Worcester University before becoming a teacher in North Yorkshire. After getting married in a medieval castle in the Yorkshire Dales and living in London for eleven years, she moved to rural Suffolk where she lives with her artist husband and a mad Springer spaniel and ex-battery hens.
Her first novel, Flights of Angels, was published in Germany and made into a film. Victoria and her husband flew out to Berlin to see it being filmed and got to be extras in it.
Several of her novels have been Kindle bestsellers.
