Summary
Published in 1914, this novel tells the story of Harmony Wells, an innocent and beautiful American in Austria to study violin. Harmony has talent and she dreams of a career in music. After her friends run out of money and return to the States, Harmony stays on in hopes of earning enough money to continue her lessons. Along the way, she meets Peter Byrne, an American doctor in Vienna following his dream to study surgery. Peter is already watching over an orphan boy in a local hospital and now he takes it upon himself to protect young Harmony from the unsavory side of life in the big city. With life pressing in, Peter and Harmony each must decide how much to sacrifice for the sake of their dreams - and for each other.

What a wonderful story. Very much a melodrama, but the characters are written so that they compel you to learn their whole story and adventures. The narrator on this audio book helped to keep the atmosphere and to continue to draw you along into the next part of the book. And the next and next. I would listen to other books read by her. I had not read a book set in Vienna before the first war. Nor had I known about the Americans who set about to follow hopeful careers by training in medicine or in music by going to Vienna. So the descriptions of the city and way of life, even the idea of an American community, were fascinating to learn about. I would definitely recommend reading the book or indeed listening to it. It will tug at your heart strings, though, so have some hankies at hand.

I tried 3 times to listen to this and I could not follow. The locations, characters and whole story line just did not hit me. It is probably me, so give it a try if you want. Narrator was great though.
