About this book
An English composer recalls an Austrian romance while writing amid the noise of the trenches. His account begins at Salzburg, where customs formalities and an angry fellow passenger leave a railway seat available for a young woman. The narrator's eager guesses about her clothes, manners and companion reveal both his attraction and his youthful confidence in reading strangers.
Vienna's musical world gives the story another source of intrigue. When Mr. Doblana's valuable manuscript disappears, the composer searches for it and tries to clear Mitzi of suspicion. His theories about Giulay are complicated by her trust in the man he distrusts. Maxime Provost brings court connections, artistic work and romantic uncertainty into the same narrative. Readers interested in music in fiction can follow a voice that moves between comic observation, personal attachment and the business of investigating a possible theft.
