A review by robynldouglas
Music & Silence by Rose Tremain

4.0

One of those books that evokes a specific place and time beautifully, with larger than life characters finely drawn. The story is almost irrelevant; it's about being invited into a handful of people's inner lives and settling in for a long chat. The switches in voice from character to character make it almost feel as you're reading multiple books, and the not-quite-Queen is definitely a character that one loves to hate (or hates to love).
