Shylock's Daughter A Novel of Love in Venice

Hollywood actress Jessica Pruitt, whose career is facing a slump, travels to Venice to serve as a judge at the Venice Film Festival. While there, she prepares for an upcoming starring role in a new film version of The Merchant of Venice. The ancient, magical city of canals enthralls her, but one day, while exploring an old Jewish ghetto, she finds herself mysteriously transported to 16th-century Venice. She becomes the heroine of a new theatrical endeavor by a brilliant young playwright named Will Shakespeare and enters into an intensely passionate love affair with him, a romance that defies the boundaries of time and place. The novel explores themes of love, poetry, and the Venetian setting, and was originally published under the title *Serenissima*.
