By the author of Mr Rosenblum's List, this is a captivating tale of
passion and music, ancient songs and nostalgia, of the ties that
bind and the ones we are prepared to sever. 'A delightful, moving,
utterly believable family saga' The Times Fox, as the celebrated
composer Harry Fox-Talbot is known, wants to be left in peace. His
beloved wife has died, he's unable to write a note of music, and
no, he does not want to take up some blasted hobby. Then one day he
discovers that his troublesome four-year-old grandson is a piano
prodigy. The music returns and Fox is compelled to re-engage with
life - and, ultimately, to confront an old family rift. Decades
earlier, Fox and his brothers return to Hartgrove Hall after the
war, determined to save their once grand home from ruin. But on the
last night of 1946, the arrival of beautiful wartime singer Edie
Rose tangles the threads of love and duty, which leads to a
shattering betrayal. With poignancy, lyricism and humour, Natasha
Solomons tells a captivating tale of passion and music, of roots,
ancient songs and nostalgia for the old ways, of the ties that bind
us to family and home and the ones we are prepared to sever. Here
is the story of a man who discovers joy and creative renewal in the
aftermath of grief and learns that it is never too late to seek
forgiveness.
