But as she works hard for the nuns, Giulia discovers her own hidden artistic talent as well as two equally mesmerising things: the intense, seemingly magical blue pigment that the artists among the nuns use for their paintings... and the handsome craftsman who is repairing a fresco in the convent. Readers who are fascinated by Renaissance Italy will be drawn in by the careful descriptions of this story's setting, and even those who aren't historical fiction fans will want to follow Giulia's journey of discovery - what really is her heart's desire? - to its end."
