Book summary

In this salaciously delicious biography 18th century expert Judith Summers views Casanova's erotic escapades through the eyes of his conquests. Some of these women were simply targeted and discarded, but many of them were as fascinating characters as the legendary lover himself. Summers dips lustily into these previously ignored lives, including a woman posing as a castrato, a mysterious noblewoman named Henriette whose identity has never been fully revealed, and the teenage sisters who helped launch Casanova's amorous career.
