Yet Eliza hadn&#8217;t been tempted by a man since her husband&#8217;s death&#8230;until she met Patrick Felham.

It\u2019s the wild orgies in the Vatican held by a Borgia pope. It\u2019s the pagan superstitions and bizarre visions of the great reformer, Martin Luther. Maybe this stuff isn\u2019t appropriate for high school history courses, but I can tell you one thing\u2014the kids would remember it.<\/p>\n<p>I certainly did. The friend who gave me <strong>A World Lit Only by Fire <\/strong>does wonderful trompe l\u2019oeil work, and the combination of that book and the paintings on my friend\u2019s walls inspired me to write <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Notorious Eliza<\/strong><\/span>\u2014about a woman hired to disguise the scandalous paintings on the walls of a ballroom, and man who has to go through his own private renaissance to realize what he really wants in a wife.
