Reviews

Mrs R Hammond

Her descriptions are exquisite, her characters unique & authentic. Suffice it to say that O’Farrell illuminates Renaissance Italy in jewel-bright tones. It’s an incredible reimagining of Lucrezia de’Medici’s life.

Julia E. Sullivan

I won’t give away the plot. 355 pages. Maggie O’Farrell’s latest novel, The Wedding Portrait, reimagines the true story of a 16-year old duchess, Lucrezia di Cosimo de Medici, believed to have been murdered by her husband. Been reading this one slowly, savouring it over the month, finished it in the wee hours of this morning.

Maggie O’Farrell is a magnificent storyteller. Set in Florence, Italy, in the 1550s, the novel begins with the frenzied thoughts of the girl, who both loves and fears the man to whom she has been given in marriage. The language is spellbinding, the characters intricately drawn, and the perils faced by women in a world dominated by men crystalized.
