I read a book as a teenager that I have thought about randomly over the years, but can’t remember enough details to identify the title.
It’s a book set in Venice sometime around 1500 about an adolescent girl who isn’t wealthy and has to stay inside or cover up when outside to keep her skin nice and white (as was desirable at that time). For some reason she dresses up as a boy and sneaks out and ends up meeting an adolescent Jewish boy and falls in love with him.
I appreciate any help!
