Wonderfully fun, this is Laura Zigman's best, in my opinion. The plot and pace were so well-executed, I had a hard time putting it down! I laughed out loud several times, even when I was on the edge of my seat. I thought Zigman's choice to write from ...more

Luscious, lyrical writing that makes the reader feel the music on a visceral level. Early 18th-century Venice is brought vividly to life by Harriet Constable's exploration of the world inside the Ospedale della Pietà, and the orchestra of orphans who ...more

Coming on the heels of The Briar Club, which was a work of genius in my opinion, this wasn't my favorite of Kate Quinn's books. Personal preference only, because the story was fun and engaging...it's Kate Quinn after all. The writing of the dialogue ...more

Unique! Everything about this story was unusual and engaging, from its characters to the setting, and the trajectory of the main characters themselves. There were a few threads the author pulled at that I wished had been resolved by the end, but were ...more
