* The Cinderella story of Thea Kronborg, rescued from obscurity in the American Midwest by her exquisite voice* Strongly autobiographical* 'The Song of the Lark illuminates all her work' A.S. BYATT |
| Synopsis: |
Thea Kronborg is born into poverty in a small desert town in the American Midwest. One of seven children, she is somehow set apart, a fact recognised by the discerning few, including Ray Kennedy, who longs to marry her but whose fate it is to set her free.With her rugged will and pioneer spirit, Thea carves her way from Moonstone, Colorado, to windy Chicago, from Dresden to New York and a triumphant debut at the Metropolitan Opera. She becomes a great opera singer but learns that as a true artist, she must make the most bitter sacrifices of all . . . |
