Nan­cy Ludmerer’s sto­ries, includ­ing many prizewin­ners, appear in Keny­on Review, Carve, Mas­ters Review, and oth­er venues. She prac­ticed law in NYC before turn­ing to fic­tion full-time.
The first offi­cial ghet­to was estab­lished in Venice in 1516. Jews were locked in from sun­set to sun­rise in Canareg­gio, the north­ern­most area of Venice. This is a his­tor­i­cal fic­tion based on the title char­ac­ter, who lived there from her birth in 1592 until her death 49 years lat­er.
