The third novel by the author of A Suitable Boy (1993). A book about an on-off love affair between two gifted classical musicians. A recurring theme throughout is the pair's rendition of Beethoven's Piano Trio Opus 1 No.3, which they first perform in their college days. "A beautifully written novel of music, romance, and the endless search for transcendent passion. A joy to read." –The Baltimore Sun
