Travel Guide

La Fenice Theatre

Now we at the booktrail are suckers for a true story or one based on true fact and there is a lot to learn from this book such as the chaos that reigned as the theatre burned. Such an iconic building that it was fascinating to learn of its history and fate.

The author states that all people and places in this book are real so this is quite some history lesson with a difference!
