The Darlingtons

Okay Darlingtons,

I am going to assume that you have all bought the book. Now take it out of the bag. Ha!

So here's what we're working with: the Birth of Venus, by Sarah Dunant. I don't get dollars for posting the link, so don't trip.

You are probably also interested in knowing that it takes place in Florence, Italy, in the 15th Century. The book's title is based on The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. 

So here's some historical links to get you started:

Florence, italy 

Lorenzo de Medici 

Savonarola 

I'll post more as I figure you're moving through the book. I know you're all awaiting some boom boom action, and but I'll let you get through the book before we talk about it! hope you're all getting into the book and loving it like I did. enjoy!

So you know, that if you're going to do anything with me, it's going to require a blog.

Here's the Darlington website for your pleasure, something that will keep all information about the book, the events, and members. I am going to probably post more stuff about the book if you're interested, background information etc.

Yes, I'm pretty much done with the book! It was a good read, and I'm already on another book, so here goes. Feel free to use the comments as an ongoing conversation. I'm going to look for a forum-type thing so we can use that as well. Get to readin' if you haven't already, kids. February will come soon enough!

Kisses,

Char

PS: this is not going to be tied to any one brl website, so feel free to use names.
