May Gold, college adjunct, often
dreams about the subject of her master’s thesis - Gianlorenzo Bernini. In her
fantasies she’s in his arms, the wildly adored partner of the man who invented
the Baroque.
But in reality, May has just
landed in Rome with her teaching colleagues and older boyfriend who is paying
her way. She yearns to unleash her passion and creative spirit, and when the
floor under the gilded dome of St Peter’s basilica rocks under her feet, she
gets her chance. Walking through the veil that appears, she finds herself in
the year 1624, staring straight into Bernini’s eyes. Their immediate and
powerful attraction grows throughout May’s tour of Italy. And as she continues
to meet her ethereal partner, even for brief snatches of time, her creativity
and confidence blossom. All the doorways to happiness seem blocked for May-all
except the shimmering doorway to Bernini’s world.
May has to choose: stay in her safe but stagnant existence, or take a risk. Will May’s adventure in time ruin her life or lead to a magical new one?
