This was one if the most enjoyable books I've read in a while. It has its flaws -- the plot lines and characterizations were sometimes preposterous -- but all the drama made it an exciting read. It was educational for me, too, as I had never heard of a "musico" and my heart broke not only for the book's main character, Moses, but also for all the real-life musicos of centuries past. There's one surviving recording of a musico and any interested readers of this book can hear it free online.
