Sinopsis

Hook line : In New York’s glittering music world, love and ambition collide with danger and desire.

A brilliant violinist, a beautiful heiress, and a calculating guardian move through a web of music, money, and secrets.

A vivid tale of passion and power unfolds as Mildred Wallace pursues a high-stakes romance with the famed violinist Angelo Diotti. The book paints the opulent drawing rooms and bustling concert halls of turn-of-the-century New York, where art and ambition shape every decision. Amid the splendor, intimate trust is tested by social expectation, family pressure, and a hidden threat that could ruin both love and career. The characters navigate loyalty, desire, and the price of fame in a world where a single note can change a life.
  • Step into a gilded era of music, salons, and theater, where performance masks deeper motives.
  • Explore the pull between devotion and duty as love challenges wealth, power, and family expectations.
  • Meet a cast of figures tied to the rhythms of the city, from patrons and managers to artists and guardians.
  • Witness how a life in the public eye can become a battlefield of choice, sacrifice, and consequence.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction with a central focus on music, romance, and intrigue, set against a vivid late‑Gilded Age backdrop. If you like stories where art, ambition, and personal loyalties collide, this edition will resonate.

Reseña del editor

The Fifth String coming of Diotti to America had awakened more than usual interest in the man and his work. His marvelous success as violinist in the leading capitals of Europe, together with many brilliant contributions to the literature of his instrument, had long been favorably commented on by the critics of the old world. Many stories of his struggles and his triumphs had found their way across the ocean and had been read and re-read with interest.
