Critical Praise

"Goes a long way to confirming Donna Leon's claim to have taken literary possession of Venice… A Noble Radiance finds her at the height of her power. It gives the reader a delightful foretaste of summer holidays to come, but it also offers much more than that…"

——Independent on Sunday (UK)

"The marvel of this book is that almost every detail on every page forms part of a succession of clues, planted with exquisite precision to unravelling the mystery."

——Sunday Times (UK)

"Venice is so brilliantly evoked you can smell its waterways on every page, but it is the universal human warmth that lingers long after the book is closed."
