Description: This luminous novel from the acclaimed author of A BLADE OF GRASS explores the intersection of creativity and love and the ways in which the past is woven into the present. When Leo, a young painter, arrives on La Mouche, a tiny island off the coast of Normandy, in 1966, he is in crisis, devastated by the loss of his French wife and child, who were killed in a terrorist attack in Cyprus two years earlier. Soon, Leo finds himself strangely drawn to two troubled people: Lorca, a brilliant composer fighting demons from her own past, and Tobias, an orphaned boy whose wildness masks an inability to speak. Canadian author - Toronto.
Notes: "A Phyllis Bruce book".
