Advance praise

"Open the curtain to a vivid retelling of the almost mythical yet very real story of the Quilicos. Guzzo-McParland finds the balance between runaway fame, love, personal identity, and family obligation in this outstanding read."
––Susan Doherty, A Secret Music and The Ghost Garden

"Gino is a great talent, a great voice, a real personality, and a beauitful actor. He has everything, and audiences are wild about him."
––Luciano Pavarotti, 1990

"I was fortunate enough in my musical endeavours to work with the Quilicos, both father and son, and I can only underline that I had the greatest pleasure to make music with these great artists."
––Zubin Mehta, 2021
