Review: Love all around in 'Playing by Heart'

Second daughter Gracie Madeleine Stowe is having an affair with a priest Anthony Edwards while her determinedly oblivious husband Dennis Quaid takes improvisational acting classes. Neither finds what they are seeking in their respective escapes. At the parent's vow renewal they hesitantly discuss trying to save their marriage.

Third daughter Joan Angelina Jolie is a hard partying, hard drinking actress who despite rather obvious charms, cannot get the reticent Keenan Ryan Phillippe to go on a date with her.

Playing by Heart 1998 Angelina Jolie perfect acting scene

Carmela Martino's writing style blends the historical facts with the emotional family life details in a way that creates a dramatic, beautifully written novel that will capture the hearts of readers of all ages. Carmela Martino, in an impeccably-written story, captures both the grace and refinement of 18th-century Italy and the timeless dilemmas to which the modern reader can relate—the pressure of familial expectations and obligations, living in the shadow of a sibling, the desire to direct one's own destiny, and love tested by time, distance, parental resistance, and class.

A Thousand Broken Hearts

Intrigue, music, and love are all ingredients in this tale of upper-class teen girls seeking to steer their adult lives. This is an Italian tapestry come to life. It's even trickier to write a really good one, and for it to speak to an adolescent audience. Yet Carmela Martino's done exactly that: Brought history alive through masterful storytelling.

Her teenage Sisters Salvini breathe on every page. You experience their joys and pains as they make their ways in a restrictive society that won't understand or appreciate their extraordinary talents. You cheer them on as they confront their own, internal limitations with a growing maturity, mind, and yes, heart. Indeed, Playing by Heart achieves what we look for in good historical fiction: Teach us something about today through yesterday—and entertain us in the process.
