Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When Anna's fortune is lost, she is forced to become a maid for music publisher De Malapert. Intrigued by her employer, she spends her free time conjuring up ways to impress him.
However, De Malapert remains unaware of her attentions. Working in the shop by day and transcribing opera scores by night, he is distracted only by the occasional visit from his flamboyant friend Everard Borgholt.

As Anna's obsession deepens, however, she begins to eavesdrop on these late-night soirees. Unwittingly, she contributes to the downfall of both the "only man she could imagine giving herself to"and herself.

Synopsis:

Eighteenth-century passion and restraint, hidden desires, and the loss of innocence.

Kate Lodge, December 15, 2006 (view all comments by Kate Lodge)

The Silent Sin is a litarary historical novel set in 18th century. It's without a doubt one of the best books I've read this year. A story of identity, communication and the morality of the human spirit. A heartbreaking, pitch-perfect novel.
