The Lost Melody
by Joanna Davidson Politano
| -From Goodreads- When concert pianist Vivienne Mourdant's father dies, he leaves to her the care of an adult ward she knew nothing about. The woman is supposedly a patient at Hurstwell Asylum. The woman's portrait is shockingly familiar to Vivienne, so when the asylum claims she was never a patient there, Vivienne is compelled to discover what happened to the figure she remembers from childhood dreams. The longer she lingers in the deep shadows and forgotten towers at Hurstwell, the fuzzier the line between sanity and madness becomes. She hears music no one else does, receives strange missives with rose petals between the pages, and untangles far more than is safe for her to know. But can she uncover the truth about the mysterious woman she seeks? And is there anyone at Hurstwell she can trust with her suspicions? Fan-favorite Joanna Davidson Politano casts a delightful spell with this lyrical look into the nature of women's independence and artistic expression during the Victorian era--and now. ASIN: B09V6PKVN5 Can she find what has long been lost? |  This Book received a 5 Bark rating.

If there's one thing that I know about Joanna Davidson Politano it's that she will always and without fail deliver an extraordinary emotionally moving tale with the most delightfully chilling Gothic overtones. And, as so eagerly anticipated The Lost Melody was all of that and even more...
There are so many things one could say about The Lost Melody but I am at a bit of a loss as to where to start. My mind and heart were so full and my imagination was so completely captured by Joanna Davidson Politano's latest novel that it's difficult for me to pin down individual thoughts and emotions in a precise and cohesive manner.
If there's one setting that is sure to tug at the heartstrings or freeze the blood in your veins it is a mental asylum in the 1800s. I think in our deepest and darkest thoughts each of us has that niggling little fear that or peculiarities and differences might either be more than they are or they might be misunderstood. That, is why The Lost Melody is simultaneously eerie and in many ways freeing.
Joanna Davidson Politano's storytelling skill has never been more in evidence as she takes readers through the darkness of mind, heart, and circumstances before her characters can emerge into the light. The reminder that there is a reason and purpose for everyone and that God's love is with us even in the darkest of places is woven throughout this story that is as intriguing and entertaining as it is thought provoking...
