Reviews for The Birth of Venus
Very Beautyful
This is a type of a book that needs to reach you at a certain point in your life when you are ready to fully appreciate its richness. I am a constant reader but this book really took my by surprise even after expecting to like it. Now I simply love it.
It is a very thick and colorful story where history, philosophy and real life details have been composed in one piece. It could be historical fiction but it states truths valid today as well as for the period described. It is a love story and a life story in a moment of change, poetic and cruel at the same time, with the colors and the aroma of the air full of substance, with well distributed action.
Need a special mood to fully appreciate it but otherwise is simply outstanding. I dream now to read the other books of the author... by sonya savova
