Peter
Danish sends his readers on an epic journey from pre-war Italy to war ravaged Athens. Through Pino Vaggi we are introduced to the hopes of a young child
yearning for a life in the opera world. When his chance is finally within his
reach, WWII breaks out and he is ripped from his home and placed in Athens where
he meets the love of his life who is also his enemy. In his heart he knows he
can’t let her die and will do anything to protect her.
Without
giving away too much I will just say that Danish’s writing is art in itself.
His words at time are poetic and you feel yourself being carried away on his
gently rolling waves. His accuracy for historical details is flawless.
I
am the first one to say I love a good historical book. I will also admit I know
absolutely nothing about the opera or that I am very knowledgeable in the fine
arts. I did enjoy this sweeping tale of Pino and his determination to save the lovely
Maria Callas. Beautifully written and easily enjoyed by fans of historical drama.
