\I wish I did, when I was younger, I played the piano and the clarinet, but not well.
I absolutely loved The Instrumentalist by Harriet Constable! It’s a beautifully written story based on the amazing Anna Maria della Pièta, set in Venice in the early 1700s. Raised in an orphanage, she had the privilege of education and most importantly, she was able to perfect her skill for music.
The second she heard the violin, she knew she had to play it, she became obsessed and determined. Not only was this the passion, something that she couldn’t ignore, but she knew it was her only way out of this life. Life was filled with colors for Anna Marie and music could truly take her to new places.
This is 5 star read for me, I didn’t want the story to end.
Thank you so much @simonbooks for this gifted copy!
The Instrumentalist will be published on 8/20/24 and will be available on our Amazon storefront!
