The love story of composer Hector Berlioz & his muse actress Harriet Smithson. Too gloomy and ill-fated for me -- I skipped the middle and read the last chapter.

The story about Hector Berlioz and Harriet Smithson, his muse for his "Symphonie Fantastique" What a hot mess that book was, it was completely stream of consciousness with rabbit trails everywhere. It felt like reading a bad dream, but every time I nearly abandoned it, there'd be this brilliant bit of prose that kept me engaged. I did struggle to the end, but I wouldn't recommend it.
