This was a beautiful book that will enthrall all lovers of
classical music. Picture Venice, early 1700's. Adriana d'Amato is
all but a prisoner in her own home. Her mother died when she was young
and her overprotective father has taken away music from the house. It is
a too painful reminder of the wife he has lost. But at 18, Adriana seeks
out the Maestro to teach her the violin. The music speaks to her soul and her
fingers dance of their own accord. But soon, the two are drawn to each
other and begin an affair that will change forever both their lives. Spanning
more than 30 years, this is a tale of music, love and finding the strength to
survive what fickle fate does to your dreams.
Historical Notes and Discussion Questions
included.
