Review
Historically founded on the 17th century Stradivari family, Portrait of a Woman is a novel about Beatrice Stradivari, a young concert guitarist, and the two men who vie for her love; of an older Beatrice who, during World War II, rescues Italian Jews by crossing the Swiss border; finally, of an aging Beatrice, who, as a cloistered Benedictine nun, Mother Ambrose, catches the interest of a religiously agnostic novelist, Philip Stratton, who falls in love with her in his imagination. In Philip's effort to translate his devotion into a novel, he searches out Mother Ambrose's secret on the shores of Como, Istanbul, Dubrovnik, and Rome. In the driving power of the plot's twists and turns, Joseph Roccasalvo has tried for more than mere plot: a double romance, a thriller based on a priceless formula for varnish; a spiritual journey; a memoir of love lost and repossessed. Portrait of a Woman is a wonderfully generous trilogy, three intriguing and interlocking stories, the present, a past, and an imaginative future, woven into a seamless literary garment. -- Midwest Book Review
