Jessica recommends... Reclaiming a woman who has been lost to history - Anna Maria della Pieta, pupil of Vivaldi and one of the greatest violinists of the 18th century. A vivid and fascinating picture of the social and cultural life of Venice at the time, and the experience of the girls at the Ospedale della Pieta - an orphanage, convent and music school where Anna grew up and succeeded Vivaldi as Maestro. Incredible and insightful piece of historical fiction.
---
Anna Maria may have no name, no fortune, no family. But she has her ambition, and her talent. Her best hope lies in her teacher, Antonio Vivaldi. Soon she is his star pupil. But as Anna Maria’s star rises, not everyone is happy. Because Anna Maria’s shining light is threatening to eclipse that of her mentor…
She will leave her mark, whatever it takes. And her story will be heard.
