The headline from The Maningpool Telegraph read: TRAGIC DEATH OF SIR
NOEL GRAMPIAN – shot during performance – Symphony Concert Calamity.
As a rousing Strauss piece is reaching its crescendo in Maningpool
Civic Hall, the talented yet obnoxious conductor Sir Noel Grampian is
shot dead in full view of the Municipal Orchestra and the audience. It
was no secret that he had many enemies – musicians and music critics
among them – but to be killed in mid flow suggests an act of the
coldest calculation.
Told through the letters and documents sent by D.I. Alan Hope to his
wife as he puzzles through the dauntingly vast pool of suspects and
scant physical evidence in the case, this is an innovative and playful
mystery underscored by the author’s extensive experience of the
highly-strung world of music professionals. First published in 1941,
this new edition returns Farr’s only crime novel to print to receive
its long-deserved encore.
'One of the greatest novels ever written' Philippe Sands Set
against the doomed splendour of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, The
Radetzky March tells the story of the celebrated Trotta family,
tracing their rise and fall over three generations. Theirs is a
sweeping history of heroism and duty, desire and compromise,
tragedy and heartbreak, a story that lasts until the darkening eve
of World War One, when all is set to fall apart. Rich, epic and
profoundly moving, The Radetzky March is Joseph Roth's timeless
masterpiece.
Virginia Woolf’s classic modernist novel, To the Lighthouse, draws from her own life and experiences.
Hailed as one of the greatest works of modernist fiction, Virginia Woolf’s semi-autobiographical novel about the Ramsay family explores the themes of perspective, interpersonal relationships, and the complexity of human experience. Woolf’s use of shifting points of view in the narrative highlights how each person sees and experiences events in their own way.
As conflict and grief impact the Ramsays throughout their time on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, the reader is pulled into Woolf’s own life.
