The Lost Melody by Joanna Davidson Politano

My Review

What an incredible, unforgettable story! Joanna Davidson Palitano has outdone herself with this one in my opinion, with the right balance of all the elements, intrigue, mystery, romance, and of course, musical content.

I could not put this book down, because I had to know what happened to the extraordinary Vivienne Mourdant as she finds herself in a Victorian Era Asylum.

The back book blurb aptly described this book as “lyrical” and when you read it, you’ll see why. It’s not a light and fluffy, feel-good read at first, but it brings all the feels and is worth every second. It is unforgettable!

About the Book

When concert pianist Vivienne Mourdant’s father dies, he leaves to her the care of an adult ward she knew nothing about. The woman is supposedly a patient at Hurstwell Asylum. The woman’s portrait is shockingly familiar to Vivienne, so when the asylum claims she was never a patient there, Vivienne is compelled to discover what happened to the figure she remembers from childhood dreams.

The longer she lingers in the deep shadows and forgotten towers at Hurstwell, the fuzzier the line between sanity and madness becomes. She hears music no one else does, receives strange missives with rose petals between the pages, and untangles far more than is safe for her to know. But can she uncover the truth about the mysterious woman she seeks? And is there anyone at Hurstwell she can trust with her suspicions?

Fan-favorite Joanna Davidson Politano casts a delightful spell with this lyrical look into the nature of women’s independence and artistic expression during the Victorian era–and now.
