May/June Book Club

[Amy Steinberg]

This month's book is a bit longer then normal so we are giving ourselves until the end of June to read it.
I asked if we could read this book because I am trying to immerse myself in Italy for some paintings I am working on.

****************************************

The acclaimed author of Servant of the Bones makes real for us the exquisite and otherworldly society of the eighteenth-century castrati, the delicate and alluring male sopranos whose graceful bodies and glorious voices brought them the adulation of the royal courts and grand opera houses of Europe, men who lived as idols, concealing their pain as they were adored as angels, yet shunned as half men.

I am almost finished (I think). I think it is better written than some of her novels, but Anne Rice just seems to go on and on sometimes instead of getting to the point and keeping the story moving.
