Owl-Keeper said: Elegant and lyrical, this book is a truly fascinating read. Eighteenth-century Venice comes alive as the story follows three musically gifted girls who come of age in a sheltered orphanage under the tutelage of composer Antonio Vivaldi. Rosalba, Anetta and Luisa, all spirited and complex characters, seek love in different ways, their stories unfolding in alternating chapters. "Hidden Voices" is an intriguing tale of friendship and self-discovery. Highly recommended!
