Publisher's Synopsis
A young orphan whose only joy is the singing of her violin. An 18th century composer who became one of the most renowned figures in European classical music.
Here, their fictionalized story unfolds as Antonio Vivaldi guides Anna Maria toward becoming one of the most celebrated violinists of her time and finding a home in the heart of her famiglia musicale. With Anna Maria's synesthesia -- her gift for "seeing" music -- and an imagined context for the creation of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons," this is a poetic tale of belonging, diversity and music history, set amidst the striking architecture of Venice.
