I have been reading quite regularly since school is out. I just finished The Orphans Song by Lauren Kate. She is a YA author - I will check at school to see what / if we have any of hers. My Public library did not - which was surprising since the book jacket said they were excellent. This is a historical fiction which was right up my alley,
Violetta and Mino meet on the roof of the Orphanage ( run by nuns) . Their musical talent draws them together and they spend hours with Violetta singing and Mino playing his violin. Each week they grow closer. and closer,
When Mino is ready for his apprenticeship , he declares his love for Violetta. But Violetta does not think she can leave her church singing when she is close to being asked to join the special choir of talented singers
Mino, in search of his mother, goes out into Venice , distraught over losing his mother and Violetta, Eventually he finds a wife who bears him a child. He begins to develop his Violin repair business, Violetta continues to sing . But she begins secret nightlife of singing out side the church, which is forbidden.
Neither Violetta or Mino really finds what they looking for, An odd relationship that develops for Violetta which finally brings about a interesting and satisfying conclusion,
I couldn't stop reading this- excellent book. I want to look for more of Lauren Kate's work.
