Sheila Walsh: The Golden Songbird

The Golden Songbird was published by Signet in July 1975 and is the story of Lucia Mannering who escaped her stepfather's house for that of Hugo, Marquis of Mandersely, who takes her in but not as a wife!

Allan Kass shows our couple in front of a decorated pianoforte. We figure by the title and setting that our heroine is musically talented and the hero is a music lover. I like the muted colors used and wonder if it's purposely done to give us a shadowy feel.
