Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First American Edition. A gripping thriller set in Urbino, Italy, Raphael's birthplace, WAKING RAPHAEL is the story of the restoration of a painting and of a community keeping secrets. An investigation into a nearly forgotten war crime is triggered when an enigmatic mute woman, Muta, stabs a Count, in the process damaging Raphael's painting 'La Muta' which has just been restored. When rumours begin to circulate about Muta, the woman--that she lives in the rotting fortress, San Rocco, on the outskirts of town; that she has a secret grudge against the Count; that something terrible happened to her during the war, more and more people begin to worry that the truth will come out. Forbes evokes the stories of each of these "mutes" with beautifully drawn characters, a wonderful sense of time and place, and the truth is finally revealed about what happened at San Rocco during the war.
