The plot: our heroine was engaged to a violinist who died of pneumonia while on tour in Canada. She blames the conductor who insisted he travel. Said conductor, Julian, is the hero. They are brought together when he is chosen by Torelli and Oscar Warrender to conduct for the former. Nicola, our heroine, is acting as Torelli's assistant. There is much tension and angst between Nicola and Julian, and Nicola is frequently pretty horrible to Julian.
The world of opera comes through brilliantly in this installment of Burchell's series. You can tell how much she loves the world and the people, but also that she sees them somewhat clearly. ( )
