  1. 1. In The Company Of The Courtesan

    An aging, celebrated courtesan and her devoted attendant navigate the glittering but dangerous streets of Renaissance Venice as political upheaval, sexual politics, disease and religious fervor threaten their survival; on the run from jealous men and oppressive institutions, they rely on wit, art, and each other while confronting questions of power, memory, desire and the precarious freedom women could carve out in a male-dominated world.
