Description: "This is the sweeping story of a family and its dubious legacy: an abiding love of music coupled with a persistent knack for thieving. Beginning in England in the 1780s, continuing in Halifax at the time of the Great Explosion, and ending in Toronto in the present. Eight generations are all connected by music, a secret family journal and one long-lived violin. Tyson will be writing 12 original pieces of music (one for each generation of family) which will be available for purchase on line."
