THE CADENCE OF
GYPSIES
By
Barbara Casey
Synopsis
Dara Roux, abandoned when she was 7
years old by her mother. Exceptionally
gifted in foreign languages. Orphan.
Mackenzie Yarborough, no record of her
parents or where she was born. Exceptionally gifted in math and problem-solving.
Orphan.
Jennifer Torres, both parents killed in
an automobile accident when she was 16. Exceptionally gifted in music and
art. Orphan.
Three high-spirited 17 year olds, with intelligent quotients
in the genius range, accompany their teacher and mentor, Carolina Lovel, to
Frascati, Italy, a few weeks before they are to graduate from Wood Rose
Orphanage and Academy for Young Women.
Carolina's purpose in planning the trip is to remove her gifted,
creative students from the Wood Rose campus located in Raleigh, North Carolina,
so they can't cause any more problems ("expressions of creativity")
for the headmaster, faculty, and other students – which they do with regularity. Carolina also wants to visit the Villa
Mondragone where the Voynich Manuscript, the most mysterious document in the
world, was first discovered and search how it is related to a paper written in
the same script she received on her 18th birthday when she was told that she
was adopted – a search, more dangerous than she could have imagined, that will
fill in all of the missing pieces of her past and help each of her students to
discover something meaningful within themselves.
