"𝟱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝟱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀," 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 —“Ever since the release of the accomplished play, and later film, Amadeus, the concept of writing historical fiction based on the golden age of classical music, has flourished... Frankly speaking, many of them are outstripped by this new riveting book. Smith writes in a manner that feels almost like you are reading a period serial akin to Tom Jones or Barry Lyndon. From the cover to the illustrations inside, this book is a showcase of what a great and skilled author can accomplish. As a reviewer, it is always the first rule to remain as impartial as possible. Regardless, this is a book that this reviewer will cherish as part of the home library. It is a book that should earn a space in your own collection and one that will be enjoyable with each reread.
