Dante’s Garden is the story of what happens when Frank Farnese, a book collector from the present day, falls through time and lands in a Mannerist garden in Bomarzo, Italy, in 1565. He meets Lucrezia Romano, a model for famed sculptor and antiquarian Pirro Ligorio, and the three of them set out on a quest for the means to send Frank home and put the world right again. The Inquisition, an extraordinary visit to Venice, and the dreams of Duke Francesco Orsini entwine to pull them all deeper into adventure, danger, love, and the hardest decisions of their lives.
Dante’s Garden weaves fact and fiction, history and imagination, to tell the story of Frank and Lucrezia, the book that drew them together, and the connection that, finally, may not be strong enough to hold them safe as time all but splits apart.
