Secrecy by Rupert Thomson
Set in late seventeenth-century Florence, a Sicilian sculptor renowned for macabre wax tableaux is summoned to the Medici court and becomes entangled in religious zealotry, political intrigue, and personal danger. As he falls in love with a young woman, he must hide both his past and their affair from a network of spies and the grand duke’s sinister confessor. His art, steeped in beauty and decay, becomes a battleground where desire, secrecy, and survival collide.
