Description
Step into the opulent and shadowed world of 18th-century Italy, where the ethereal voices of castrati captivated Europe's elite. This novel delves into the lives of these celebrated male sopranos, adored as angels on stage yet living with profound secrets and societal marginalization. Through their exquisite artistry and hidden sorrows, Anne Rice paints a vivid portrait of a society steeped in decadence, passion, and intrigue, from the glittering canals of Venice to the vibrant streets of Naples.
