The year is 1777 and the four Weber sisters, daughters of a musical family, share a crowded, artistic life in a ramshackle house.

Bringing eighteenth-century Europe to life with unforgiving winters, yawning princes, scheming parents, and the enduring passions of young talent, Stephanie Cowell’s richly textured tale captures a remarkable historical figure—and the four young women who engage his passion, his music, and his heart.
