Back Cover Copy

After his beloved wife's death, the composer Harry Fox-Talbot is unable to write a single note, until one day he discovers his troublesome young grandson is a piano prodigy. As the music returns, Fox is compelled to re-engage with life – and, ultimately, to confront an old and bitter rift. One with its roots in 1946, when he gave up his dreams of a musical career to help save the family home from ruin; and when he fell for his brother's girlfriend, the celebrated wartime singer, Edie Rose. This is the entrancing tale of a man whose passion for music, an elusive woman and the English landscapes of his youth are inextricably intertwined. A man who finds joy in the wake of grief, and learns that it is never too late to seek forgiveness. 'A tender, lyrical novel of family and fame'Katherine McMahon, Sunday Express.'Moving and engaging, it's acaptivating story that stays with you.'Book of the Month, Choice
