Query: A compelling glimpse at a woman's life in Renaissance Italy

In the author's native Newfoundland, "In the Hands of the Living God" is billed as a book about John Cabot, or Giovanni Caboto, the Italian who discovered Newfoundland in 1497 on behalf of the British crown. But it's really a book about his wife, Mathye Caboto, through the medium of her fictional diaries and letters. Bouzane's spare, poetic prose and her meticulous historical research combine to create a compelling glimpse of Mathye as a wife, mother, musician, composer, and writer, caught up in the chaotic and competitive era of New World exploration.
