A Novel by Karen Anstee
Olivia is hugely talented singer, yet she has ended up consigned to working
as an also-ran soloist for horrendous amateur choral societies. Meanwhile,
her frenemy, the svelte and gorgeous Calliope, is a mega-successful
international opera star, despite her limited ability. Bound together by a
traumatic past, they find their friendship tested to its limits by success and a
handsome Italian tenor.
This sometimes tear-jerking, often humorous tale of friendship, love, lust and betrayal reveals the romance and heartbreak that lies behind the scenes at London’s glamorous opera houses.
Karen is currently in the process of adapting When the Fat Lady Thins for a film production company.
