A Song of a Single Note: A Love Story by Amelia E. Barr
"A Song of a Single Note: A Love Story" by Amelia E. Barr is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the tumultuous times of the American Revolutionary War, it emphasizes themes of love, loyalty, and the challenges faced in a divided society. The narrative revolves around the Semple family and their interactions with various characters, including the young Maria Semple, who is returning home from Boston toher grandparents amidst political strife. The opening of the novel introduces readers to an already beleaguered New York under British occupation, painting a vivid picture of the city's desolation contrasted with its natural beauty.

We are introduced to various community dynamics, including the tension between royalists and rebels, establishing a rich backdrop for the unfolding story.
