City of Belmont - Ruth Faulkner Public Library

When Rosa turns fifteen, she must leave the nuns who have raised her and become governess to the daughter of an aristocrat and his strange, frightening wife. Their house is elegant but cursed, and Rosa - blessed with gifts beyond her considerable musical talents - is torn between her desire to know the truth and her fear of its repercussions. Meanwhile, the hand of Fascism curls around beautiful Italy, threatening her citizens. In the face of unimaginable hardship, will Rosa′s intelligence, intuition and her extraordinary capacity for love be enough to ensure her survival? A tale of sacrifice and reward, of beauty and horror, and of redemption - as only Belinda Alexandra can deliver. "A wonderful story that had me reading until the early hours of the morning" - GOOD READING
