From the back of the book.
Venice, 1468. Sosia Simeon, a free-spirited sensualist, is the lover of many men in the fabled city, though married to one she despises. On the edge of the Grand Canal, Wendelin von Speyer sets up the first printing press in Venice and looks for the book that will make his fortune. When he tempts fate by publishing Catullus, the poet whose desperate and unrequited love inspired the most tender and erotic poems of antiquity, a scandal is set in motion that will change all their lives forever.
I dont want to give this book a bad review as it just wasn't my kind of thing. I tried to read it but just couldn't get into it and it was taking me forever to plough through. I never really felt like picking it up or continuing and although I hate to give up on a book, I had little choice.
