Dear Librarian, Like many avid readers, Claire Donovan, the modern-day heroine of THE ROSSETTI LETTER, loves history—so much so that she’s trying to make a career of it. Her dissertation on Alessandra Rossetti, a Venetian courtesan of the early seventeenth century, leads her to the magical city of Venice, where she’s drawn deeper into the mystery surrounding Alessandra’s life and death. Parallel plots detail Claire’s adventures in La Serenissima and Alessandra’s dangerous involvement with a conspiracy to overthrow Venice. Booklist said of THE ROSSETTI LETTER, “Phillips plots an intriguing literary suspense debut novel…an entertaining story with intrigue, espionage, and romance in both centuries.” The novel has sold in the UK, Germany, Russia and Portugal, and is Redbook’s March Book Club choice. I love libraries, and would be happy to speak to groups anywhere in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. To find out more about the book, please visit my website, therossettiletter.com. Sincerely, Christi
