Travel, the 5th faith

I was fascinated from the very 1st page of this scintilating novel. I am a reader of the Adam's family, John and Abigail. I knew very little of Casanova, so this book wetted my appitite. I want to know if these letters exist or are they pure fiction? Where did Susan get her idea for this book?? Want to know more. I thought it was cleverly written intertwining the journal and letters to tell a story of a young woman recovering from the loss of her mother and in the process finding herself while experiencing Venice, Greece, and Istanbul.
