review 1: A postscript to a Puccini opera and a sprawling novel travelling through many historic events. "So what did happen to the boy?" is an interesting question and there is a lot of area covered by the novel. Perhaps a bit too much for me to keep up with the whole time. Sharpless seemed a bit insipid at times and I couldn't really work out why he was the friend of all these people. His aunt is great though and there was plenty in the story to keep me occupied.
review 2: I won this book in a giveaway, and to be honest, was curious about it after reading the synopsis, but unsure as to whether or not I'd like it. I was pleasantly surprised, and although the beginning was slow for me, I grew to love the eloquent prose and the intriguingly strong characters. Although t... morehe author draws inspiration from Puccini's opera, one does not have to be at all familiar with that story to appreciate this novel. It can be read, enjoyed and appreciated merely at face value. The story is a beautiful one of a deep and profound love, friendship and triumph. less
