The Lost Melody


 









The Lost Melody, by Joanna Davidson Politano, is a dark tale that takes in England in the year 1886!


Concert pianist, Miss Vivienne Moudant, learns of her father’s death as she is practicing at the piano.  She has been under her father’s thumb for years, now Vivienne feels free to move forward with new possibilities.  However, she soon discovers that she must first pay off her father’s debts.  It is even more surprising when Vivienne learns that she must also take on the responsibility of her father’s ward!


Rosamond Swansea is currently a patient at the Hurtswell Asylum.  When Vivienne sees a sketch of this woman, she cannot hold back a memory of this face revisiting her mind.  After Vivienne learns that there is no record of her father’s ward, she actually signs on at Hurtswell as an aid.  This place looks as ghastly as she had imagined it would!


Before she knows it, Vivienne finds herself trapped in this lunatic asylum.  She has no idea who placed her in this horrid place; however, all Vivienne knows is that she keeps hearing music and no one believes her.  You wonder who will come to Vivienne’s rescue!


Hang tight to discover who is responsible for all this madness!
