Produktinformationen zu „Ghost Music “
When Song Yan's mother-in-law moves into the apartment she shares with her new husband Bowen, their carefully calibrated life is overturned and family secrets are uncovered. A pianist in Beijing must find a way to the life she really wants, in this atmospheric new novel from the critically acclaimed author of BRAISED PORK.
Klappentext zu „Ghost Music “
A gorgeous Beijing-set novel of music, secrets and self-discovery For three years, Song Yan has filled the emptiness of her Beijing apartment with the tentative notes of her young piano students. With her marriage, she gave up on her own career as a concert pianist, but her husband Bowen has long rebuffed her desire to have a child.
Instead, she must accommodate her mother-in-law, newly arrived from the province of Yunnan and bringing with her long-buried family secrets. Soon strange parcels start to show up on the doorstep and Song Yan's dreams become troubling and claustrophobic. Striking out alone through the winter city, she finds herself pulled into the ancient hutongs to confront the source of her unease.
In a silent room within a timeless house, can she find the notes she needs to make sense of all the pain and beauty in her life?
