Very well crafted historical novel centered on Anna Maria della Pieta, a Venetian orphan in the 17th century who rose to fame as a Violinist and eventually the Maestro of the Figlie della Pieta, a renowned ensemble of musicians led, at a time, by Antonio Vivaldi. While there are few historical records concerning Anna Maria (as a female of that time), this imagining feels rich with detail and possibility.
