Anna Maria may have no name, no fortune, no family. But she has her ambition, and her talent.
Her best hope lies in her teacher, Antonio Vivaldi. Soon she is his star pupil.
But as Anna Maria’s star rises, not everyone is happy. Because Anna Maria’s shining light is threatening to eclipse that of her mentor…
She will leave her mark, whatever it takes. And her story will be heard.

Evocative, meaningful magic
Beautiful, evocative, varying pace like the music it describes. Deliciously crafted words that bring to the surface a story that's been submerged by the years (and the men like Vivaldi who kept the origins of his music shrouded in mystery). Bravo Harriet, can't wait to read what you write next (or see this adapted for the screen!)
