When she arrives, she is determined to meet the composer and begin her lessons as soon as possible, so she sneaks away from the hotel and finds his apartments. When Bridget receives a letter inviting her to study in Venice with a world-famous piano composer, Vincenzo Carpenini, several events coalesce into making her journey possible, and before she knows it, she's on her way to Venice with her mother and her younger sister.
Bridget's unhappiness from that experience was palpable, and she developed a reputation in society for being unpleasant – which cast her even more in the shade of her sister, who was known was “The Golden Lady.”īridget's solace is her skill as a pianist, and she ignores her social disappointments by focusing on her practicing, though she seldom performs in front of other people outside of her family due to stage fright. Her debut season was a bitter experience for her, because Sarah, after reinventing herself when she was humiliatingly jilted by a duke, stole the attention from Bridget. This, like many of Noble's books, is an extraordinary and unique romance worth savoring.īridget is the younger sister of Sarah Forrester, the heroine of If I Fell, and she's been overshadowed by Sarah most of her adult life. While the emotional connection between the hero and heroine sometimes disappointed me, the setting and the conflict between them, and most especially the use of music, made up the difference. It wasn't as oh-my-gosh-good-book-sigh-for-two-hours as other books of Noble's that I've loved, but it was still wonderfully intelligent and unique historical romance. After reading most of Kate Noble's previous historical romances and recommending them to people who had historical London romance fatigue, I was hopping in my chair eager to read this book.
