Anne Rice nos escolta de regreso en el tiempo al obsesionantemente hermoso mundo de los castrati del siglo XVIII: los "sopranos" como niños, famosos en las cortes reales y en los teatros de la ópera de toda Europa. La obsesión de la autora con la mortalidad y la pérdida continúa en la forma de la tortuosa existencia de los castrati, adulados por sus voces gloriosas, pero a quienes también se les rechazaba como a un tercer sexo. La autora se centra en la tortuosa, emocionante, dramatica y apasionada vida de uno de ellos desde su mas tierna niñez, para adentrarnos en este viciado laberinto de los castrati y, con su historia personal, retratarnos una época, una sociedad y, como en la mayoría de sus obras, las mas humanas pasiones y miedos.
