Distant Music: A Novel

前表紙
Chatto & Windus, 2001 - 354 ページ
"Portugal with its golden light, lemon groves and wild flowers, is the setting for celebrations, passion, catastrophe: an earthquake brings Lisbon crashing to ruins...fleeing persecution, an entire people faces expulsion from the land. Emmanuel is in turn sailor, mapmaker, bookseller, jazz musician. Esperanca the illiterate peasant, is a frivolous girl in Faro's privileged class, a clever, bookish recluse who confronts a murderer on the great aqueduct in nineteenth-century Lisbon...Still searching, she surfaces in twentieth-century London, faced with a double incarnation: one the true Emmanuel, the other a shadow. Over the centuries the couple face peril, tenderness, horror. Each life is short. What survives is love."--BOOK JACKET.
