We have all at one time or another been transported by a work of art. But few of us have found ourselves hurtling back through time -- except, that is, Sara Wolfe. A museum employee enchanted by a drawing of the dancing Hindu god Shiva, Sara embarks on a mysterious journey that involves a fifteenth century explorer, a collection of Indian sculptures, an illuminated manuscript, and e-mail, not to mention an awakening of her senses the likes of which she has never before known.

With The Venetian's Wife, Nick Bantock, the best-selling author of the Griffin & Sabine trilogy, offers up a beautifully illustrated, magical book -- a tribute to the cathartic power of art.
