I just finished the most wonderful book - A Note Yet Unsung by Tamera Alexander. I am part of a program by Bethany House Publishers that sends me books that I would like to read and in return I provide and honest, and unbiased critique of the book. I can't tell you how much I enjoy this program.
As I mentioned before, I recently read the historical fiction, A Note Yet Unsung, and it was AMAZING! I absolutely loved the whole thing. The storytelling was remarkable. I truly felt that it was a joy to read. The story is about a young girl, Rebekah, who's father passes away while she is young, and her mother remarries a brute of a man. Rebekah grows close to the servants and discovers her natural talent, and love, for the violin. After being attacked by her step-father, Rebekah's grandmother pays for her to study abroad in Vienna. She begins working as a governess for a famous symphony Maestro and learns to transcribe music and play the violin exceptionally. She begins to dream of one day playing in a big symphony herself, but her dreams continue to go unrealized since it is frowned upon for women to play the violin in public - it is much too scandalous.
The book begins when Rebekah is forced to return home to Nashville, upon the news that her grandmother, and benefactress, has unexpectedly died. This is the story of how she overcomes the demons of her past, gains confidence and independence, and strives to make her dreams come true. Oh, and did I mention the incredible love story interwoven throughout the book? It is one that you aren't going to want to miss!!
I highly recommend you read this book!! If you love historical fiction - this one is for you! After reading A Note Yet Unsung I realized that it was the last book in a series of 3! It is amazing as a stand alone story, but I am now intrigued and feel I must go and read the first 2!
