The The Four Seasons by Laurel Corona

The The Four Seasons by Laurel Corona

Chiaretta and Maddalena are as different as night and day. They were abandoned at birth outside the steps of the Ospedale della Pieta, Venice's world-famous foundling hospital and musical academy. Rebellious Chiaretta develops into a dazzling singer, soon becoming a celebrated soloist. Her more reserved sister takes up the violin and forms a dangerous bond with her instructor, the controversial red-haired priest - and suspected womaniser - Antonio Vivaldi. Based on rich historical research this is a fictionalised account of the lives of two sisters.

Discovering Emilie, Penelope's Daughter, and the Four Seasons are the works of Laurel Corona. She earned her bachelor's degree from the University of California, Davis, her master's degree from the University of Chicago, and her doctorate from the University of Chicago. She has taught at San Diego State University, UC San Diego, and San Diego City College, among other institutions. She currently resides in San Diego. Laurel Corona's website is www.laurelcorona.com.
