Gems of the imagination flow effortlessly from the pen of Fran
Edelstein in this powerful collection of short stories. Composed of
seven tales, Set to Music takes you on a dramatic journey into the
very depths of the human heart.
Spanning six countries and two continents, the title short
story, "Set to Music," tells of Anne, a pianist faced with an
overwhelming obstacle that only love-and perhaps even a miracle-can
transcend. An island resort provides a quiet retreat for a parent's
soul-searching in "Head Over Heart," while "Deedu" is a tender and
engaging story about a special friendship between a child and a
Russian immigrant.
Sweeping away time, two World War II survivors uniquely relive
their past as they meet again in "Lilacs," and life and death in a
hospital morgue create a curious dialogue about how we as humans
navigate this world in "The Paper Boat." In "The Road Ahead,"
doubts and fears turn to triumphs for a group of actors
encountering a major detour as they head for the Eiffel Tower,
while "The Mantilla" tells the riveting story of how a lace
mantilla spreads mischief.
Vivid, heartfelt, and beautifully written, Set to Music creates
an emotional tapestry of the human soul.
