Abandonado por su novia, insatisfecho con su trabajo, Adam decide escapar a Italia para dar clases particulares de ingl&és al adolescente Antonio. A su llegada, no obstante, descubre que el muchacho ha dejado embarazada a la hija de su criada, y que los padres han optado por enviarlo al extranjero. Pero la suerte de Adam parece mejorar cuando Gordon Crace acepta contratarlo como asistente personal. Crace, autor brit&ánico responsable de una exitosa novela sobre las perversiones del mundillo universitario, es un exc&éntrico personaje que jam&ás abandona su casa pero que tampoco tolera la soledad. Pese a tales exigencias, Adam decide que la mansi&ón del escritor quiz&á sea el lugar m&ás adecuado para redactar su primer libro. Y ese libro bien podr&ía ser la biograf&ía de su empleador, ya que &éste es due&ño de un pasado donde los abusos sexuales se dan la mano con el asesinato. Para Adam, descubrir la verdad no ser&á sin&ónimo de justicia, sino de best seller? Con Mentiras en Venecia, Andrew Wilson nos ofrece un magn&ífico thriller psicol&ógico sobre los oscuros secretos que se esconden tras la belleza decadente de Venecia, una ciudad poblada por personajes a&ún m&ás turbios que el agua de sus canales.

Sometimes you end up living the life you never expected. When Andrew and Rachel found out that one, and then both, of their children had severe autism, their world was turned on its head. This is a book about surviving, and thriving, when something goes horribly wrong. It is a mixture of their story and God's story, and the way in which his has shaped theirs. With clarity and biblical insight, they share their experience of grief and worship, struggle and hope. As well as reflecting on the specific challenges of raising children with special needs, they speak to broader questions as well: the problem of suffering, building a marriage under pressure, fighting for joy and trusting in the goodness of God. This is not just a book for families and friends of special needs children, but for all who have been thrown a curve ball in life, and need to know how to lament, worship, pray and hope.
