Synopsis "La Sonata de Nomeolvides = The Forget-Me-Not Sonata (in Spanish)"

Spread over two generations, The Forget-Me-Not Sonata is based in the English Colony of Hurlingham in Argentina and in Dorset from the 1940s to the present day. A sweeping story following the life of Audrey Garnet who grows up in the small Anglo-Argentine community where the gossiping ladies of the Hurlingham Club divulge and discuss the latest scandals over scones and Earl Grey tea. Ripples pass through the community when Cecil and Louis Forrester arrive to make their fortunes. Cecil is a decorated war hero while Louis, who didn't fight, thrashes out his tormented soul on the grand piano and hides a dark secret that only his brother knows. Audrey loses her heart to one, but marries the other and yet her love only intensifies over the years and the music of the forget-me-not sonata reminds her time and again of the dreadful sacrifice she has made.

British writer, Santa Montefiore grew up on a farm in Hampshire and attended Sherborne School for Girls. From a young age, she dreamed of becoming a writer, which led her to earn a degree in Spanish and Italian Language from the University of Exeter. She converted to Judaism in 1998 and married a historian, from whom she took her surname, Montefiore.

She spent the 1990s in Buenos Aires, where her curiosity about the South American country was awakened, which has notably nourished her work. She published her first novel in 2001 and has since released various titles, with her biggest successes being Under the Ombu Tree, The Butterfly Box, The Swallow and the Hummingbird, and The Last Voyage of Valentina.

Montefiore's production is highlighted by the Deverill Chronicles series, consisting of Songs of Love and War, Daughters of Castle Deverill, The Last Secret of the Deverills, and Time of Secrets at Deverill.

The author's writing style is classic romantic, with magnificent descriptions and displaying great imagination.
