Beskrivelse
Set in the winter of 1561, The Marriage Portrait follows Lucrezia, Duchess of Ferrara, as she faces a chilling revelation during a visit to a secluded country villa with her husband, Alfonso. At just sixteen, Lucrezia finds herself trapped and vulnerable, confronting a deadly threat from the man meant to protect her.
A gripping historical tale of power, danger, and survival within the walls of Renaissance Italy.
Lucrezia, raised within the grand palazzo of Florence, has lived a sheltered life. But when Alfonso, her husband and ruler of a province, takes her to a remote villa, she soon realizes his intentions are far from innocent. As they sit down to dinner, the terrifying truth dawns on her: Alfonso plans to kill her.
Alone and powerless against a trained soldier and ruler, Lucrezia must find a way to survive. The Marriage Portrait offers a vivid and unforgettable reimagining of a young woman caught in the deadly grip of power.
Critics have praised Maggie O'Farrell for bringing historical detail to life, making this story both compelling and richly immersive.
