FIFTEEN YEARS LATER, young Rosa must leave the nuns, her only family, 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.

Rosa faces unimaginable hardship: her only weapons her intelligence, intuition, and determination . . . and her extraordinary capacity for love.
Customer Reviews
A treasure
Deeply seeped in history, despicable tragedy of war, gorgeous and devastating landscapes of Italy, love, alive characters and gripping mystery. Written vividly, sincerely. The narrator is always fantastic.

I really liked this book, but looking back, I wonder why. I liked the characters, the setting, the love stories and the mystery. The violence of war was unsettling and sad, but well written.
