Moses is born in a belfry and raised by his deaf mute mother who rings the bells in the bell tower. Contrary to expectations, this doesn't make him deaf but rather he develops a sensitive ear and an exquisite singing voice. This historical fiction is based on the 18th century Opera Singer and the struggles he went through in his life. Not only is the story awe inspiring but, the writing makes Moses, and all the characters, come to life. Very well told and such an enjoyable read/listen.
I never would have read this book were it not for Marlene's recommendation so, thank you so much!
