Anna Maria, de ocho años, es solo una de las trescientas niñas que crecen dentro de las muros de la Pietà, pero sabe que es diferente. Obsesiva y talentosa, tiene la misión de convertirse en la mejor violinista y compositora de Venecia y en su mundo de color y sonido parece que nada la detendrá.

A medida que su estrella se eleva, amenazando con eclipsar a su mentor, el sueño que ella ha perseguido con tanta determinación se ve en peligro...
De los lujosos palacios de Venecia a sus angostos callejones, esta es la historia de una mujer ambiciosa y de su ascenso a la cima, de la pérdida y el triunfo, y de quiénes elegimos recordar y dejar atrás en el camino hacia el éxito.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An unforgettable novel about a woman of exceptional talent.
The true story of Vivaldi's orchestra and its true star, Anna Maria della Pietà
"Captivating and full of color and sound, it portrays Anna Maria as a young prodigy, elevated by a talent that also puts her in danger." The Guardian
In the splendid Venice of the 18th century, despair and misery are never far away. Through a hole in the wall, orphaned girls are abandoned at the Ospedale della Pietà every day.
Anna Maria, at eight years old, is just one of the three hundred girls growing up within the walls of the Pietà, but she knows she is different. Obsessive and talented, she is on a mission to become the best violinist and composer in Venice, and in her world of color and sound, it seems that nothing will stop her.
But the odds are always against an orphan girl, so when Maestro Vivaldi takes her as his favorite pupil, Anna Maria realizes that this is her only chance. As her star rises, threatening to eclipse her mentor, the dream she has pursued with such determination is put in jeopardy...
From the luxurious palaces of Venice to its narrow alleyways, this is the story of an ambitious woman and her rise to the top, of loss and triumph, and of those we choose to remember and leave behind on the path to success.
