Trees Long for Rain

Venice, 1643. Isabella wants to sing in Monteverdi’s choir, but only boys (and castrati) can do that. Her singing teacher, Margherita, introduces her to a new wonder: opera! But then Isabella finds Margherita murdered. And now the killer is after Margherita’s son, Rafaele.

Isabella and Rafaele have to find Margherita’s killer before Rafaele is condemned for a murder he didn’t commit, though Isabella fears that the truth will tear her apart from the man she loves.
