Employing Rachmaninov's Second Symphony as the musical basis for
the story of an affair, this novel features an English professor,
who represents the elegant, and a young woman, who portrays the
brisk, the primary elements of the symphony. Add to the tale's
allusions to the sea, which the music is meant to portray, and you
have a tale that should interest many readers, even those not
readily interested in classical music.

beginning to realize his dreams to one whose desperate thoughts are
aimed at helping his struggling family. Max Prentice, who has had
his eye on Jack for sometime, is a successful toy-maker and the
owner of a toy store in Chicago. Yet, when Jack's desperate
thoughts begin to turn into action, Max intervenes, shows Jack the
error in his thinking, and hires Jack to be his apprentice. Indeed,
all is going well, until illness confines Max to bed and results in
his wife Mildred running the store. With little remorse, her first
act is to fire Jack. To learn what happens to Jack, Mildred, and
even Max, turn the knob and enter the shop.
