books that make you go hmmmm....

US Release Date:  December 29, 2009

In the glittering world of nineteenth-century opera, Sabine Conrad is a beloved star feted by New York’s high society. Ensnared by a man who both loves and controls her, Sabine risks everything—including her lustrous career—to break free from her lover. But her plan backfires; by the end of the night she is a criminal on the run from a grisly murder. Three years later, she is Marguerite, hiding out in Seattle and running a boxhouse—a low-class theater and brothel. No longer the prima donna she once was, and carefully guarding the secrets of her past, she has learned to survive on her own in a gritty frontier town, hidden among prostitutes, drunks, and miners. But then the past catches up with her to offer a terrifying proposition. Told in two voices, by the young Sabine and the wiser, older Marguerite, Prima Donna is a complex portrait of a mysterious woman who must find the strength to confront.

    Books done in a past and present voice can be either really good or really bad. I hope this one turns out to be good because the storyline sounds interesting.

  7. I read two of Megan Chance's other books (The Spiritualist; The Inconvenient Wife), and liked them. Her novels basically go according to a formula, but they're enjoyable nonetheless.
