A Woman’s Voice by Alli Sinclair – When violin virtuoso Laura Hartley’s priceless instrument is stolen, more than just her celebrated European career disintegrates. Her rare gift, the ability to see music in colour, fades to grey, suppressing the sense of self she has always expressed through her performances.
Devastated, she flees to her grandmother’s home in the Australian outback, where she finds an extraordinary inheritance woven through sheets of music – a powerful symphony born from the revolutionary hearts of suffragettes who refused to be silenced, their defiant voices rising above the doomed decks of the Titanic.
As Laura traces each note of this forgotten masterpiece, however, she uncovers more than merely auditory communication. She finds a story of women who dared to cast off society’s chains to demand charge of their own destiny and battle for a world where every voice can be heard.
When scandal rocks the tight-knit community of Gungderring, however, Laura must confront the query that has preoccupied generations of women before her! Will she remain quietly in the background, or bravely step forward and join the conflict?
Historically interesting, and, at the same time, empowering. Certainly, women have come a long way since those historic times, but there is still a long road to travel. The narrative reminds the reader that women, especially in many parts of the globe, still have a great distance to cover to obtain total equality. We must never give up!
An absolute must-read!
