Brought up among the viols and virginals of her father’s concerts of early music, Evelyn Innes elopes to Paris with the wealthy aesthete Sir Owen Asher, who trains her into a celebrated singer of Wagner. Back in London her fame grows, but a second love for the composer Ulick Dean and a reawakened Catholic conscience pull her in other directions.
