Would you risk your life--or your soul--for the sake of art?
Born into an impoverished Hawaiian
family in the 1960s, Maile Manoa's quest for a life in music lures her
to the high-stakes world of European opera. In Salzburg, Austria she
attracts the attentions of powerful men and falls in love . . . with a
troubled young musician, with the city, and the intrigue that surrounds
her.
When Werner von Wehlen, the
famous conductor at the center of Salzburg's glamorous music festival,
offers her a leading role, she is forced to confront the Nazi heart of
the classical music scene and von Wehlen's treacherous past. On the
evening of her brilliant premiere, with Soviet tanks threatening to
invade the city, Maile must choose between recognition on the world
stage . . . or leaving the city with her life, and her conscience,
intact.
