520    In this vividly imagined historical novel, acclaimed 
       Congolese author Emmanuel Dongala has focused his laser-
       sharp wit on the life and times of George Bridgetower, a 
       young violin prodigy, who, at the age of nine, took the 
       courtly world of 18th century Europe by storm--and 
       surprise, given the youth's unusual origins: for young 
       George was of mixed- race parentage, known in the parlance
       of the day as a mulatto. Though his father Augustus was 
       from Barbados and dark-skinned while his mother was a 
       German handmaiden in the Viennese court, this young 
       virtuoso, proclaimed as the "Black Mozart" was welcomed 
       into the high society of Tout-Paris on the eve of the 
       French Revolution, and later, after he and his 
       opportunistic father fled to England, became a court 
       favorite of the Prince of Wales where his fame spread 
       widely across Europe where he eventually arrived in Vienna
       and became close friends with Ludwig Van Beethoven 
       himself. Brimming with lively detail and dialogue and with
       cameo appearances from historical figures such as 
       Alexandre Dumas, Camille Desmoulins, and Nicolas de 
       Condorcet.
