Haunting and heartbreaking. From the first to last page it was as if I could hear the music play, and feel the raw emotion packed into these pages. By far one of my favorites of Anne Rice and one I keep so that I can read it again.

I'll never forget hearing the music of this novel running through my head as I read. Mesmerizing.

"AN ABSORBING NOVEL THAT TAKES THE READER ON A SUSPENSEFUL JOURNEY THROUGH TIME, PLACE, AND MIND....
The instrument of the title belongs to a ghost, the brooding 19th century aristocrat Stefan, who ventures to 20th century New Orleans to brew up mischief and seek release from his torment. Told from the point of view of Triana, the humane woman drawn into Stefan's nefarious plot, the tale charts two lives touched by tragedy and alienation...A rich, detailed literary symphony."

While I must say I am a big fan of this author I am disappointed to say that in all the thousands of books I have read this is the worst by far, not just from this author but of anything I have ever read. There is no plot. There are no characters that are enjoyable or likeable. There isn't even a storyline here to follow. No moral, no point, no anything. This is a horrible book and I strongly recommend that if your reading this, don't read the book.
