John Berendt (author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) returns after more than a decade to give readers The City of Falling Angels, an intimate look at the magic, mystery, and decadence of the city of Venice and its inhabitants . . .
A creative work of nonfiction that is as enveloping and heart embracing as fiction, The City of Falling Angels tells a tale full of atmosphere and surprise as the stories build, one after the other, ultimately coming together to reveal a world as finely drawn as a still-life painting.
"Funny, insightful, illuminating ... Venice reveals itself, slowly, discreetly, under Berendt's gentle but persistent prying." -- The Boston Globe
