Casanova in Heaven

About the Book

Poor Casanova! He had hoped to spend his afterlife in Hell, the post mortem place for distinguished sinners. But no such luck. He suffers in Heaven, where he is approached by three angels of the fairer sex. He falls for Marilyn Monroe, Catherine the Great and Mary Stuart. Alas, these celestial affairs end with unpleasant surprises. Fortunately, he also meets Rasputin, Edward VII of Great Britain, Louis XV of France, Augustus the Strong of Poland, and Pope Alexander Borgia. Their unabashed accounts make Casanova’s lot more bearable. Caution: this book may change your ideas about Heaven.
