<p>\"A deeply empathic exploration of obsession and art, genius and madness. . . . Morgan&#39;s ability to bring each character to life is virtuosic.\" --<i>The Washington Post Book World <p/></i>In 1827 Harriet Smithson, a beautiful young Irish actress, determined to avoid the traditional route to stardom via the manager&#39;s bed, joins an English company in the bold experiment of taking Shakespeare to Paris. <p/>With the ferment of revolution in the air, the new generation is longing for passionate, spontaneous art. And to Harriet&#39;s astonishment, it is embodied in her--La Belle Irlandaise. In the midst of this frenzy she finds herself pursued by a strange, intense young composer named Hector Berlioz. So begins a painful and profound love affair. She is his muse; his id&#233;e fixe; his obsession. And Berlioz&#39;s <i>Symphonie Fantastique</i><i>, </i> directly inspired by Harriet, will change music forever.</p>
