About this listen

It begins with a singing and dancing septet in dusty church halls. But it is not the sisters’ dancing that fills the seats: it is the torrents of hair they let loose at the end of each show. And their hair will pull them out of poverty, to the salons of Dublin and the palazzi of Venice. It will bring some of them love and each of them loss. For their fame and fortune will come at a terrible price...

Wonderful

What a book ! It's something a bit different, a great listen that's intriguing and leaves you thinking about the characters .The author's historical notes are an added gem too.
I'd definitely recommend.
