This novel has strong leanings to a Roman à clef (a novel about real life, overlaid with a façade of fiction). It was written during November 2011 for NaNoWriMo, and traces the life and career of singing luminary, Malcolm Craig. He is a great tenor and has great success in his professional career, but his private life is far from tranquil. The book traces the course of his life, his career and his relationships from the 1920s to the beginning of World War Two.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and was mesmerized from the very beginning. The characters are very real and Malcolm Craig is portrayed as an intriguing man although he causes so much heartache in such a short time. Set in the romantic 20's and 30's will no doubt bring back very fond memories to some, and interesting insight to others. Awaiting the follow-up story eagerly.
