Critic Reviews:
"Music, love, virtue, sex, desire it all comes together in The Glass Harmonica, a knock-out historical novel... reminiscent of Louis de Bernières." (Ngaire Atmore, New Zealand Herald)
"Engrossing as the story is with historical detail, there is also a poignant study of a marriage complications which still ring true today, making this a relatable and immensely satisfying read." (Arleigh Johnson, Historical Novel Society)
"A riveting and unique read with plenty of twists and turns highly recommended." (Midwest Book Review)
