Selda Heddle, a famously reclusive composer, is found dead in a
snowy field near her Cornish home. She was educated at Agnes’s
Hospice for Acoustically Gifted Children, which for centuries has
offered its young wards a grounding in the gift – an inherited
ability to tune into the voices and sounds of the past. When she
dies, Selda’s gift passes down to her grandson Wolf, who must
make sense of her legacy, and learn to live with the newly
unleashed voices in his head. Ambitious and exhilarating, The
Variations is a novel of startling originality about music and the
difficulty – or impossibility – of living with the past.
