Avis d'utilisateur - Vonia - GoodreadsHalberstadt's writing was very impressive... However, the story layout, construction, pacing, etc... didn't exhibit her full potential, as there are particular paragraphs in the book that are nothing short of beautiful. Consulter l'avis complet

Avis d'utilisateur - GoodreadsA short superficial description of a fascinating story of blind pianist Marie Theresa von Paradis and her encounter with Anton Mesmer, who briefly cured her blindness. Some good quotes.
