Overview

""Wildly romantic, acerbically funny"" - Hilary Mantel. On the eve of her wedding, 38 year old Rose Lorenzo stumbles into London's Royal Opera House and discovers a world of passion through Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. Cancelling her safe marriage, she embarks on a whirlwind romance with Italian bass-baritone, Leo dalla Vigna - a grieving opera star haunted by loss. Set against snowy Venice canals, Milan's La Scala and a Bavarian hunting lodge, their witty, passionate love story explores music's redemptive power. But can two ""wayward and difficult"" souls find harmony? First published to critical acclaim by Black Swan in the 1990s and now rediscovered in a newly presented edition, this is a novel for readers looking for witty, intelligent, passionate romance.
