Southern Author Kimberly Cross Teter Talks About Debut Young Adult Novel

 

 

Greenville, SC, September 15, 2014 - Southern author Kimberly Cross Teter will have a book talk and signing to celebrate the launch of her debut young adult novel, Isabella's Libretto (Excalibur Press, paperback, $14.95), at The Woodlands at Furman on Tuesday, October 21st, at 4:00pm. The book, for ages 10 through adults, explores a fascinating footnote of history rooted in Venice, Italy, in 1715, when visitors from all over Europe flocked to the enchanting floating city to see a remarkable, all-female orchestra directed by Antonio Vivaldi. This event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served. Furman student musicians will provide chamber music. Fiction Addiction will be the bookseller for this event. You can reserve copies of the book online or by calling us at 864-675-0540. We will also have books for sale at the event on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

Isabella's Libretto is the tale of one orphan seeking her dream in Venice, Italy, in 1715 -- a time when music permeated the canals and lanes of the floating city. Abandoned as a baby at the Ospedale della Piet�, Isabella dal Cello has spent her entire life wondering why her mother deserted her. Now she is an ambitious teen who has worked hard to earn a place playing her cello in the orphanage's prestigious orchestra. This remarkable ensemble of girls is directed by none other than Don Antonio Vivaldi, the colorful and complex maestro, destined to be remembered as a great composer, conductor, and violinist. Don Vivaldi recognizes Isabella as a kindred spirit and nurtures her talent. One night, however, Isabella defies the rules of the Ospedale and sneaks out with her best friend. The unusual punishment devised for Isabella changes her life in a most unexpected way, testing her devotion to her musical goals -- and her friends. Can Isabella satisfy an impossible choice that is put before her? Challenged by loss and betrayal, she will have to call on her pluck and perseverance if she has any chance of claiming her dream before it slips away.
