This novel tells us almost banal story, unfortunately. That of a battered woman who dies under the blows of her husband. The story of an orphan, virtuoso musician, bringing to present cracks.
Then of Coryn, but charming young woman who comes from a family without education one might say. Coryn that will gradually know hell. Who marries a prince charming prince who becomes a jailer and will imprison the young woman without a routine joyless and full of fears.
Two people who were not destined to meet, destinies which intertwine when nothing predicted it. A meeting which will lead to unpredictable succession of events, discovering other destinies ...
This story is strong by its accuracy, its hardness and by the talent of storytelling. We are lulled by a narrator who masters his subject. Some scenes are unbearable by the bottom, yet the author does not sink into pathos. She tells the facts, almost without judgment, leaving readers manage feelings and emotions.
We smile, we are moved, shocked, sad or happy. We can not remain indifferent to this novel and what it contains.
I would also welcome the very real and concrete aspect of this story. We are powerless against history Coryn and we would, as always, that all the guilty are punished (for my part I want to especially the family) but we know that in real life this is rarely the case, but it's unfair like that. The author knew well consider this: while contenting his readers, she managed to give this ring of truth so hard to history.
In short, you'll understand that I was totally conquered by this story and I came away everything. I recommend it, it is perhaps a little sad and hard, but it's so beautiful ...
