[Anne] Rice seems like nothing less than a magician: It is a pure and uncanny talent that can give a voice to monsters and angels both." -- The New York Times Book Review   "To read Anne Rice is to become giddy as if spinnning through the mind of time." -- San Francisco Chronicle   "If you surrender and go with her . . . you have surrendered to enchantment, as in a voluptuous dream." -- The Boston Globe   "Rice is eerily good at making the impossible seem self-evident." -- Time

SynopsisIn a sweeping saga of music and vengeance, the acclaimed author of The Vampire Chronicles draws readers into eighteenth-century Italy, bringing to life the decadence beneath the shimmering surface of Venice, the wild frivolity of Naples, and the magnetic terror of its shadow, Vesuvius. This is the story of the castrati, the exquisite and otherworldly sopranos whose graceful bodies and glorious voices win the adulation of royal courts and grand opera houses throughout Europe. These men are revered as idols--and, at the same time, scorned for all they are not. Praise for Anne Rice and Cry to Heaven "Daring and imaginative . . .

  • Wonderful

    Recently recommended by a friend. Am so glad. The kind of book one can't put down, and when finished, you miss the characters. The opportunity to learn is woven throughout. Highly recommend -- and have to several friends.

  • Smoke gets in your eyes.

    I was looking forward to reading and adding this book to my bookshelves, unfortunately it reeks of cigarette smoke and is sitting in a shelf in the garage. Unread.
