Description: Six-year-old piano prodigy Elly Robin enjoys what seems to her a perfect life as a vaudeville headliner. But in San Francisco her troupe is caught in a devastating earthquake, and when she watches the hotel containing her mother and father collapse before her eyes, something in her mind collapses as well.
Next day, a child is found wandering through the city's smoking ruins, mute and traumatized, clutching her blackened doll. Convinced she is an imbecile, the authorities consign her to a dismal children's asylum...
So begins P.D. Quaver's extraordinary multi-volume ( nine as of today) saga, The Ordeals of Elly Robin.
Reviews: Ann Stoudt (USA: HI) (2023/04/01):
How did I like it?!?!?!

Finished the book 20 minutes ago and I have just got off the computer to order the second book of the series. (And I am a person who likes the cheapest books available - as I read A LOT and it can get expensive!!!)

So well written by an accomplished pianist who can describe what Elly can do, as far as a piano is concerned and her state of mind.

Also the attention the author pays to the time period of the book is outstanding! if you know your history, of that time you can see who he as "embellished throughout the book! (before reading his notes!)

Entertaining as well are the illustrations throughout the book.
