Ebook About From Martin Cruz Smith, “a master of the international thriller” (The New York Times), a suspenseful World War II love story set against the beauty, mystery, and danger of occupied Venice.Venice, 1945. The war may be waning, but the city known as La Serenissima is still occupied and the people of Italy fear the power of the Third Reich. One night, under a canopy of stars, a fisherman named Cenzo comes across a young woman’s body floating in the lagoon and soon discovers that she is still alive and in trouble. Born to a wealthy Jewish family, Giulia is on the run from the Wehrmacht. Cenzo chooses to protect Giulia rather than hand her over to the Nazis. This act of kindness leads them into the world of Partisans, random executions, the arts of forgery and high explosives, Mussolini’s broken promises, the black market and gold, and, everywhere, the enigmatic maze of the Venice Lagoon. With Martin Cruz Smith’s trademark suspense, action, and breathtaking romance during World War II Italy, The Girl from Venice is “a gripping evocation of a beautiful nation and of two people, trapped in the lunacy of war and the bravery it can inspire” (The Seattle Times).Book The Girl from Venice Review :
When you love an author, you want, you really, really want, to give each new book a good review.I love Martin Cruz Smith’s work. Unfortunately, The Girl From Venice is just not up to his usual standard. In fact, it reads more like a first draft that his publisher took away from him before he had time to go back, smooth the rough edges, and fix the holes in the plot.The book has the structure of an Arkady Renko novel: the hapless investigator who stumbles into the machinations of evildoers, blunders around, and nevertheless comes up with the brass ring.It all begins well: a fisherman finds a girl (apparently dead) floating in the Venice Lagoon. When it turns out the girl is alive, she must be hidden, because it is 1945, the Germans are still in control of northern Italy, and the girl is Jewish. But then the scene shifts suddenly to Saló, the capital of the truncated Italy which was all that Mussolini had left after the rest of Italy switched sides. At that point, the plot falls apart. People turn up and disappear without rhyme or reason. Much is made of a cigarette lighter, which conceals a .22 caliber derringer (misprinted in the text as 22 mm – an impossibility, given that even a 20 mm round is seven inches long and weighs half a pound). But the derringer violates Chekov’s dictum that if a gun appears in scene one, it must be fired before the end of the play – because after being described in detail, and then observed being transferred from the original owner to another character . . . the derringer is never seen again.When the action returns to Venice, things grow even more confused. A German reconnaissance plane (in which the eponymous girl and the hero escaped from Saló) crashes, but then, miraculously, is repaired and flies away, piloted by the hero’s brother, who returns later with two bad guys, who then . . .But never mind.I kept reading to the end, because, after all, Martin Cruz Smith is Martin Cruz Smith. But my hopes of redemption were dashed, and the book ended in a complete muddle.Do not buy this book. Buy Rose, buy Red Square, buy Gorky Park, buy Havana Bay, buy Stallion Gate. Leave this one alone until the publisher comes out with a revised and corrected “author’s cut.” “The Girl from Venice” by Martin Cruz Smith is an astonishingly mediocre story. Smith’s Arcady Renko (Moscow Police Investigator) stories overshadow this weak-kneed attempt -- by light years. It’s hard to believe that the same author who wrote Gorky Park wrote this absurdity.It’s too long. There’s too much uninteresting material about fishing in it. There are numerous factual errors. For instance, allied bombers NEVER flew WESTBOUND over Venice en route to their bombing targets at Milan and Torino. Using the English word for a well-known German small plane with a well-known German name for it was puzzling.The entire story, which takes place in the waning days of WWII as the Germans prepared to depart Northern Italy, was shallow, mostly unbelievable and contrived. Once again, Cruz Smith fails at creating a credible love story, and the familial hatred between the two Vianello brothers was vapid.There is a sort of denouement toward the end involving gold bullion bars, an escape in a small plane and a crash landing at home in the garden of a neighborhood bar, followed by a rather idiotic meeting of the bad guys and good guys on a lagoon fishing pier. Stuff of comic books. There is an attempt at humor now and again. All characters, however, are stick figures, relying on stereotypes and gross over-simplifications.If you’re even an armchair World War II buff (like me), it’s a tough read to stay with, due to the ridiculous plot and absurd characters. But, once in a while, it’s entertaining to read a terrible novel. This one is perfect for such occasions. Was this an early manuscript, mistakenly published before proper editing?It’s nothing more than a 2 on Amazon’s rating scale, and it’s that high only because of Cruz Smith’s talents and his large body of good work.
