review 1: I loved this book, it was so interesting and it takes you right from your couch and transports you to Venice. There was so much about the culture during the time that I did not know and it was weaved into this story beautifully and tastefully. A lot of historical fiction works get bogged down with sordid details and this book did none of that, which doesn't mean that it was at all a boring read. It was so well written and I was enthralled from page one till the last line. I also loved all the details about the life of Vivaldi and his works, I went right to my computer and listened to The Four Seasons (which is breathtaking). Def worth your time!
review 2: Though this took me quite awhile to read, I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of historical fiction, set i... moren 18th century Venice. Having been to Venice, I loved thinking of Chiaretta and Maddalena there, singing and playing the violin. The two are sisters, orphaned, who grow up in a convent. They excel at music. When they are grown, Chiartta marries to have grand adventures among the elite of Venice. Maddalena stays at the convent and continues to play with and for her maestro, Vivaldi. The novel could have done without Vivaldi but it was intriguing learning about the Red Priest. A lovely novel! less
