A bit too long for the story here but skim through the middle (you won’t miss much) because it’s still an interesting story. The author’s note at the back about the real life people and events this is based on isn’t to be missed – in fact you might want to read it first.

I would have rated this higher had the author had a better editor look at her use of Italian. A fascinating story that will be enjoyed by musicians and music-lovers alike.
I fear I may never read another book so beautifully written

I find the fantasy that Anna Maria della Pieta was a better composer than Vivaldi an insult to me as a reader-- and a it overshadows Anna Marie extrordinary accomplishment as a instrumentslist in that era when women were chattel
Because of misogeny then we might not know if she were a composer. On the other hand there is apparently no evidence that she composed. As a feminist I resent this ploy to sell books. Reminds me of Hamnet with lead female character who spoke as though she time travel from the present and was implausible for that time.
