Wow, I had a feeling this would be a good one from the description, and I was not disappointed. This is a unique story to say the least. Experience the story of the Castrati, singers castrated in boyhood to retain their young voices. (Thankfully that has since been outlawed. I checked.) The story gives some imaginative insight into the life of these young boys, and if you're looking for something to read that's a bit dark and very, very interesting, give this a try. Some of the scenes were a bit tough (especially for a male reader), but I like real-life stuff that puts you in the story. I'm looking forward to more work from this author.
