Description
xHidden clues in a mysterious opera manuscript suggest the whereabouts of a long-disappeared opera singer.
What do a champagne socialist opera director, an albino diva, a one-eyed journalist, a professor of economics, and two Jewish Hungarian sisters -- one a cancan dancer with ties to the French Resistance -- have in common? They are all searching for Clara.
In 1992 opera singer Clara vanished from an airport in Cape Town. Her husband, Gareth, declared her dead in absentia eight years later. But when an anonymous opera manuscript arrives at a struggling punk opera company in Berlin, it seems to hold cryptic clues to Clara's fate.
As unlikely allies unite to uncover the mystery, they must confront a difficult question: If they find Clara, how will it change their fragile lives? More importantly, how can they put her story on the stage?
The Lost Queen is a gripping tale of love lost, hope renewed, and the search for truth that will leave you questioning what it means to be truly found.
