Summary: "A Venetian June" by Anna Fuller is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Venice, focusing on a trio of travelers: Colonel Dan Steele and his two nieces, Pauline and May. As they explore the enchanting canals and rich history of the city, their individual experiences and perspectives on Venice reveal deeper themes of memory, longing, and the contrast between youth and age. The opening of the novel introduces Colonel Steele, who is navigating the canals of Venice with Pauline and May. Their differing attitudes toward the city’s timeless beauty evoke a sense of generational contrast—Pauline is blissfully enamored with the romantic notions of Venice, while May maintains a critical eye. Uncle Dan, on the other hand, grapples with his own memories tied to the city, which adds a layer of introspection to their shared journey. As they glide through the canals, the vibrant scenes of Venetian life around them reflect their personal stories, setting the stage for the unfolding narrative that will explore themes of nostalgia and self-discovery.
