Now in paperback, Adrienne McDonnell’s debut novel, THE DOCTOR AND THE DIVA (Penguin; On-Sale: October 25, 2011; $15.00; ISBN: 978-0-14311930-2) transports readers to a different time and place, yet addresses contemporary issues. This magnificent debut is a tale of passionate love affairs, dangerous decisions, and a woman’s irreconcilable desires as she is forced to choose between the child she has always longed for and the opera career she cannot live without.
