One Response to Bella Voce

    I can’t really recommend this story. It’s quite well written and the author has some talent, but I have a really hard time with stories set in the past which give no account WHATSOEVER to the mores and attitudes of those times. This is 19th century Paris, but it has middle-class Carlisle and Esme, Edward’s parents, with no servants and allowing their unmarried teenage daughter to not only spend unchaperoned time with her lover, Jacob, but be completely unfazed by the fact they are having sex. A girl of Rosalie’s class would be ruined by such behaviour. Also, the author is a musician, and he has Edward compose a song for Bella which would be more at home in the 1980s.

    In the end I had to stop reading – if authors want to write a modern love story, then do so. But if you want to write a period piece, then do the research – in this day and age of the internet it really isn’t that hard to at least give a passing nod to historical accuracy.
