Cry to Heaven
1990
This book is about Tonio. When his father dies, his brother sends him off to join the castrati.
Guido is the master who takes him there, and becomes his teacher. Tonio has a great voice, and is a success on the stage.
But being a great singer isn�t all he�s dreaming about. He also dreams about revenge, about killing his brother.
�Don�t weep in front of these strangers. Swallow it down. Don�t weep in front of these strangers! Cry to heaven, cry to heaven, cry to heaven.�
~Tonio

�Love you! Love you! I am in hell of desire for you! Have you never guessed? Have you never looked beneath the coldness. Are you so blind to this suffering?�
~Guido to Tonio
Oh, this is the best book I have ever read! I was looking all over London for it, but it was worth it!
The love between Tonio and Guido was so beautiful...And there�s lots of love-scenes...My friend read one of them, and was making puking-noises. But it�s not disgusting, it�s, as another friend pointed out, rather sweet.
Ok, so I didn�t like the fact that Tonio fell in love with that girl or the Cardinal, but other than that it was so great! But maybe it was a little too obvious that Carlo was Tonio�s father�
I hope my English teacher appreciates the book-review I'm giving her on this book!*s*
And maybe a NC-17 rating on it wouldn�t be so bad�.
