Anna Maria is a young orphan in 18th-century Venice who grows up in a musical institution where girls are trained as violinists. Exceptionally talented, she becomes a student of composer Antonio Vivaldi and quickly rises through the ranks of the orchestra.
As she matures, she begins to realize that her contributions to music are not properly recognized, especially in a system dominated by powerful men like Vivaldi. The story follows her struggle to claim her artistic identity, gain recognition, and assert her voice in a world that tries to silence her.
It is a novel about music, ambition, and the fight for women’s creative recognition.
