THE SIXTEEN PLEASURES by Robert Hellenga

FIC
HELLENGA

Margot Harrington is on leave from her job as a book conservator at the Newberry Library. She has volunteered to help Florence, Italy after the flood of 1967. A convent has found a unique book of Renaissance erotica. They would like Margot to help them sell the item-discreetly.

The book, The Sixteen Pleasures, becomes the adventure that Margot has been looking for. She finds romance and professional fulfillment, and herself.

A wonderful book with lots of details about the rare book trade.
