Shylock's Daughter: A Novel of Love in Venice

Shylock's Daughter: A Novel of Love in Venice

A modern-day actress finds herself transported back in history and into the arms of a passionate young bard in Erica Jongâ€™s sensuous spin on Shakespeareâ€™sÂ The Merchant of Venice

A glamorous Hollywood film star, Jessica Pruitt fears the best days of her career are behind her. Arriving in Italy soon after losing custody of her young daughter, she hopes to forget her woes by serving as a judge at the Venice Film Festival and immersing herself in preparations for her starring role in a new cinematic take onÂ The Merchant of Venice. For the aging but still beautiful actress, this ancient, crumbling city of canals is the perfect escape, enchanting her withÂ its history, its magic, and its mystery.

Then one day, while strolling through the old Jewish quarter, she finds herself in a very different Veniceâ€”one that hasnâ€™t existed for five hundred yearsâ€”as the heroine of a new theatrical endeavor by an enigmatic young playwright named Will Shakespeare. Suddenly, impossibly, Jessica has found a new beginning, a new audienceâ€”and, in the arms of a genius fledgling bard, a love affair more stimulating, satisfying, and liberating than any she will ever know, even five centuries on.

Originally published asÂ Serenissima, Erica Jongâ€™sÂ Shylockâ€™s DaughterÂ is a magical tale set in a magical cityâ€”a wonderfully imaginative and delightfully uninhibited love story that transcends time.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erica Jong including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the authorâ€™s personal collection.
