«Secrecy» is the historical novel by Rupert Thomson, published by Granta Books in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Florence, 1690. Zummo, a sculptor of almost lifelike wax figures, arrives at the Medici court to create a life-size Venus. Amid hypocrisies and hidden pleasures, the appearance of a young woman dead by the Arno makes him suspect that corruption originates at the court itself, and his work could decide his fate.
The novel won the Jerwood Fiction Uncovered Prize and was nominated for the Bad Sex in Fiction Award.
For readers of historical and literary fiction interested in mystery, art, and seventeenth-century Florence.
