- Summary:
- For one entire opera season, Carlotta sits in her candle-lit box held in the spell of a world in which knowledge, beauty and love collide: music. She is falling in love with the castrati, Gasparo. Set in eighteenth-century Naples, a place of carriages, churches visited by criminals, and ships resting in dusky harbors, The Virtuoso is the tale of an exceptional place and an exceptional passion.
- A bestseller throughout Europe, The Virtuoso is both a wonderfully romantic historical novel and a literary triumph. With this very unusual love story, her first publication in the United States, Margriet de Moor is sure to attract a great many American readers.
