The Lost Melody by Joanna Davidson Politano is an excellent story of historical fiction romance. Concert pianist, Vivienne Mourdant's father dies. Intrigued by her now poor state and no longer controlled by her father Vivienne must find out why her father is supporting a patient in an asylum. In order to do this, she disguises herself as an aide and works in the asylum. However Vivienne is quickly drawn into the asylum and suddenly finds herself as a patient. It is frightful and revealing as to what goes on in the asylum. No one will believe Vivienne's real name and her real circumstances.
I must say I was absolutely drawn into the story of The Lost Melody. There are a lot of references to music, which music fans will enjoy. However, as one who is not so educated in music, I was still able to enjoy the story. The story is a bit frightening as it dive into asylums in the Victorian era. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I could not put it down. I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review which I was happy to do. I highly recommend The Lost Melody by Joanna Davidson Politano.
