I didn't feel like the characters were sufficiently well developed to make this anything more than a copycat Gothic.

I can't read this. The author so obviously knows nothing about Vienna that it is painful.

BTW While the idea that all of Vienna turns around the music scene is widespread, it is only true in the small segment of Vienna that is involved in the music scene. If anyone were to call the Sacher hotel 'Sachers' it would be Sacher's i.e. an English possesive. To walk from Wiednergürtel to the Staatsoper by way of Schwarzenbergplatz would be a lengthy detour.

I've had this book on my shelf for over a decade and finally opened it. A school teacher with poverty all around. How does that make a good story. But it does when written by Diane Pearson. I love the writing style of this author, something about it kept me turning the pages.

Already have read this book so I have 2 editions here on Goodreads. I did not know that was possible? I like it though. One with my review and how much I loved it and this one which is an ebook version because I am going to read it again.
