Description
Cry to Heaven A Novel by Anne Rice is a sweeping tale of music and vengeance set in 18th-century Italy. Against the shimmering backdrop of Venice, Naples, and the shadow of Vesuvius, this story brings to life the decadence and extravagance of royal courts and grand opera houses. The castrati, exquisite and otherworldly sopranos, are revered as idols yet scorned for all they are not. Their glorious voices win adulation, but also fuel a sense of longing and discontent. This is a story about the complexities of human nature, where beauty and ugliness coexist in a world of grandeur and excess. With its unique blend of music, history, and psychological insight, Cry to Heaven A Novel showcases Anne Rice's masterful storytelling and her ability to bring to life characters both monstrous and angelic.
