Virgins of Venice

Brilliant! Accessibly written but in no sense dumbed down, full of fascinating stories dug from the Venetian State Archives and told as far as possible in the nuns' own words. A crucial inspiration for An Imperial Concubine's Tale: Scandal, Shipwreck, and Salvation in Seventeenth-Century Japan.
