Finalist in the Utah Book Awards 2012
Young Chjara Vallé, full of irrepressible music and sensuality, is exiled from her Corsican homeland, sold as a servant to an opium addict in Paris. Music paves the way for her to flee with Henry, her love, to New England. There the new freedoms and Puritan vigor vie for ascendancy.
What will the Americans make of this throat-singing, harmonica-playing exotic who lives to make a virtue of pleasure?
