Many novels have been written about relationships but never one like this.
David’s life is falling apart. His partner Conrad, the greatest pianist of modern times, has died tragically in an air disaster. Once tipped to become a successful concert pianist himself, David grieves alone as the future of the cherished music school he and Conrad set up together begins to crumble away.
Hope arrives in the shape of Ellie, the sister that David never had. Ellie brings with her Jules, David’s unrequited first love, and Sophie, Jules’ unpredictable sister who fifteen years earlier, following a brief relationship with David, uttered a handful of words that shattered their lives.
Confronted by Sophie, whose love remains as deep and raw as ever, David begins an agonizing exploration of his lost hopes. Has he wasted his life through dedication to Conrad’s career? Can he reclaim his future and secure the school?
But Ellie has a secret, soon to be revealed. And while Sophie and David grow closer as she helps him rebuild his life, the ghosts of the past return to wreak terrible consequences.
“. . . how I, a man the world saw as gay, had fathered two children without knowing, only to find both lost to me.”
