The story telling is amazing. The characters are perfectly intertwined by passion and circumstance. Descriptive writing and ambiance transport you to another world. Love it!

I love this book. She writes about the past so well. In this case Italy in the early to mid 1700's. All about a young noblemen who is forced to become a castrato by his long exiled brother (? I won't spoil it) who returns once the family patriarch is dead. This is a great read. I have two paperbacks of this and just bought a digital version so I can have it everywhere. 5 stars!
