Mr. Rogers' Review: The Queen's Soprano by Carol Dines

In a world of "haves" and "have-nots", Angelica Voglia's voice offers a way out of her humble beginnings and modest existence. To do so, she must thread a path between the rules of a strict society; her scheming mother, and manipulative men of wealth and power (all factions that attempt to use Angelica for their own purposes.) In this swirl of intrigue, plot and counterplot, another central figure is Christina, the ex-Queen of Sweden. As Angelica's patroness, this strong woman does all she can to protect her. Yet, even the Queen has her own agenda. Concerning two historical women, and filled with factual tidbits, this book makes a great read.
