grandmother. About The Book 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.
