Vivienne Mourdant, a concert pianist, is left with the care of a patient at Hurstwell Asylum after her father's death. She discovers a portrait of a woman she remembers from childhood dreams, but the asylum claims she was never a patient there. As Vivienne spends more time in the asylum, the line between sanity and madness becomes blurred, and she hears music no one else does. She also receives strange missives with rose petals between the pages and untangles more than is safe for her to know. However, can she uncover the truth about the mysterious woman she seeks? And is there anyone at Hurstwell she can trust with her suspicions?

Joanna Davidson Politano's The Lost Melody is a lyrical look into the nature of women's independence and artistic expression during the Victorian era. It is darkly premised and brilliantly presented, with a pitch-perfect blend of history, romance, mystery, and faith. The Lost Melody is a book that will leave readers spellbound.
