And on the same nigh a baby was discovered, dark-eyed little Maria, who would transform all their lives. The villagers had never seen anything like it, dense white curtains of snow transforming the landscape. Not in autumn, not in Burgundy... and on the same night a baby was found, dark-eyed little Maria, who would transform all their lives. Hundreds of miles away in the Abruzzo mountains, another foundling, Clara, astonishes everyone with her piano-playing. But her gifts go far beyond musicianship. As a time of great danger looms, though the girls know nothing of each other, a bond unites them and others like them, which will ultimately offer the only chance for good to prevail in the world. From the acclaimed author of 'The Elegance of the Hedgehog'.
