The Queen of the Night by Alexander Chee

adventurous informative mysterious medium-paced

A sweeping epic of a novel that explores the role of fate in our lives as it follows Lilliet, a horseback riding opera singer who travels from a farm in Minnesota to the top of Europe's opera scene as she tries to wrest her fate into her own hands, despite the attempts of men and society to deny her.  I was constantly surprised by this book.  I loved it!
