Tour of Italy Teaser Tuesday: The Daughter of Siena

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:





Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two "teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! Share the title & author, too, so that others can add the book to their TBR Lists!


This week my teaser comes from The Daughter of Siena by Marina Fiorato: "Amid the intrigue and danger of 18th-century Italy, a young woman becomes embroiled in romance and treachery with a rider in the Palio, the breathtaking horse race set in Siena." I'll be posting my 4.5-Star review of this book on Thursday, so come back and check it out! From page 193:


The Daughter of Siena: A Novel     "Signor Bruni instructs me to tell you that your husband has gone into the Maremma to train. The servants tell me he will be there for a fortnight at least."
     He smiled at her, the second, lovely, uncomplicated smile she had received today.
     "He thought you would like to know."

    I read The Botticelli Secret by her last year and greatly enjoyed it, so am definitely intrigued by this one.

    Sounds very sweet! I'm actually hopping over to check out the other book review sponsors for Suzanne Adair's book, but you might like to read my teaser as well! (mine is decidedly *not* sweet! lol)
