Book of Hours by M Owen Lee
This is a personal memoir, cast in the form of a secular breviary, that
"'A Book of Hours is a feast, a joy, and an insightful and powerful journey into the inner thoughts of the man himself' Irene Sloan, Founding Editor, The Opera Quarterly 'No one explains more compellingly [than Father Lee] why every human being should care about the stories of the great operas. Who else so convincingly illuminates the links between Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor and Walt Whitman's poetry; the simple human message underlying Verdi's meandering La Forza del Destino; or the reasons why Wagner's rarely performed Rienzi is his most characteristic work? Readers will come away reassured that opera speaks not just to our visceral passions but also to our deepest spiritual essence.' Commonweal"
