It stirred a distant memory of a conversation between my mother and me about the Vienna Boys Choir; that even with their beautiful voices, they are only second to the eunochs of long ago. And so I was interested. I have not read any of Anne Rice's works before but through her writing in this book, I easily understood why she has gained fame. This is the story of Marc Antonio Treschi, a princeling from Venice who was dealt a harsh hand. It tells of his struggle to overcome a bitter fate, to accept who he has become, to find happiness in his singing; to achieve justice. The story's main plot does not have intricate twists. It is however, embellished by the richness of his era's culture, the glamor and intrigue of opera, and the realty and secrecy of same sex love affairs. While I had some difficulty reading Tonio's more intimate moments with his male lovers (which I cannot decide if it made the story better or not), I delighted in the vivid descriptions of the carnivals in Venice and Rome. I could imagine hearing the magnificent voices ascending to the rafters and filling the opera houses. I loved Anne Rice's lush writing, from the falling ash of Vesuvius to the stench of the Tiber.
