Can't Wait Wednesday-The Lost Melody

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing The Lost Melody by Joanna Davidson Politano. It comes out October 4, 2022. As far as I know, this is a stand-alone novel.  

Synopsis (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.

  5. Ooo... this one sounds full of tension. There was a dark history of Victorian husbands with inconveniently headstrong wives having them committed to mental institutions... I wonder if this is going to be an aspect??

  6. I've never heard of this author or seen this book, but gosh - it really sounds great! Very slight bit of a gothic vibe there as well. I love that!
