A cruel mother seeks revenge on her wealthy, reclusive daughter. The fourth book of a unique and deeply emotional memoir by a woman named Carmen Angelina Coletti, a prodigy who was taken out of school when she was twelve years old and isolated from the world. Her strong, often apocalyptic voice gives a real world account of the unthinkable, of where her mother has been for twenty years, and the unbelievable circumstances of her return.
Abused since early childhood, her music is her refuge, with a gift for composition so complete that she is likely the world's first female great composer, some believing her to be the most gifted composer of all time. This somber, poetic story reveals a uniquely tragic mother-daughter bond, and its literal connection across time itself.
