La escuela de canto

La escuela de canto

Leyshon, Nell

England, 1573. Little Ellyn's days are spent working from sunup to sundown on her family's humble farm, shoveling animal feces and receiving scorn and beatings from her brother Tomas. Since her father was disabled in an accident, and even more so now that a new little sister, Agnes, has arrived in this world of misery and deprivation, everyone has to break even more to ensure a livelihood. In this atmosphere of brutality, fatigue and filth, Ellyn's only joy is Agnes, with whom she has a very special bond. Everything will take an unexpected turn the day Ellyn goes to the market and, pushed by her curiosity, she enters an empty church where she hears a song like she has never heard before, a song that shakes her, that makes it float From that precise moment a powerful desire begins to grow inside him: to enter the singing school, where young gentlemen learn to sing, but also to read and write, a place where one never goes hungry and where, however, the girls access is denied. Her determination to fulfill her dream will lead Ellyn to rebel and pose as a boy, but how long can she keep up her deception? How much can she bear those shackles imposed on the truth of her body?
