In the late 1960s, when man is about to set foot on the moon and divorce is not yet legal in Italy, Elena Spina Torcellan runs a glassblowing workshop on the island of Murano alone.
She is a woman in a man's world, experienced and courageous. Elena is determined to save the company together with Tiziano Zen, a talented but reserved young master glassblower. They come from different worlds: Elena belongs to the wealthy bourgeoisie, Tiziano comes from a working-class neighborhood. But they are united by the magic of glass and their shared collections—beginning with the "Cosmic Glasses," destined to conquer the world. Elena is married and has a son, but a love blossoms between her and Tiziano that will endure separations, new encounters, the heat of glass furnaces, and numerous historical upheavals.
Venice is also an important character in this vibrant, love-filled novel. You'll see one of the most amazing cities in the world through the eyes of those born and raised there. Those who know why glass is simultaneously the strongest and most fragile thing. And why, more than anything else, it resembles life itself.
