About this product
Product Information
Elizabeth Fane is on the cusp of 50, but instead of celebrating with her family, she is on a plane to Italy alone, leaving behind her husband, three adult sons, and the profound rift between them. In Italy Liz plans to prune olive trees at a convent, explore the city of Florence, and visit its ancient cathedrals. There she meets four women--five if you count the large painting of the Virgin Mary--with whom she converses regularly. While at first these conversations with the painting are ironic (and are always one-sided), eventually they turn to become another way for Liz to consider the rift between her and her family. Liz gradually reveals why she left home and sorts out what it will take for her to return. Renaissance is a story about a woman of a certain age -- a novel about the end of motherhood as Liz steps out of longstanding domestic roles to find her own place in the world.

Reviews
"In Renaissance , Susan Fish gives us a rare combination of two journeys: a vivid external tour of Florence, Italy, and a deep interior path through a woman's struggle. With exquisite detail and brave authenticity, she portrays protagonist Liz Fane's established view of herself and along the way takes us on yet another journey...into our own too-sure identities. Grazie , Susan. Grazie ." -- Nancy Rue , Christy Award-winning author, speaker, and teacher "A book to transport you--inside the walls of a convent in the hills above Florence, where ancient olive trees await rebirth after necessary pruning, where nuns chant the holy hours and, from the nunnery kitchen, churn out delectable Florentine soups and stews and pastas and breads, all of which begin to fill an insatiable hunger. Thousands of miles from home and heartbreak, a woman brought to her knees by an unspoken sorrow, slowly, slowly comes to the dawning knowing that love--and only love--is the necessary force for any chance at rebirth. Renaissance, indeed. Susan Fish's fluency in all things Florentine, from the twists and the turns in ancient streets to the tabacchi (convenience store) where bus tickets are bought, is part of the magic in this novel that will carry you far from whatever might otherwise weigh you down. But so, too, is the realism and the fine-grained brushstroke with which Fish paints her portraits of friendship and one woman's struggle to let go of her pain and open herself once again to the love that had never really gone away. You'll be grateful for the overseas journey without ever having to leave your coziest armchair. And you'll consider deeply, perhaps, the hurts in your own life that you, too, might have clung to for far, far too long." -- Barbara Mahany , author of The Book of Nature: The Astonishing Beauty of God's First Sacred Text
