Description
In this beautifully written and compulsively readable story of love and the mutability of human relationships, pianist Witold's infatuation with Beatriz will change them both. A Sunday Times, Daily Telegraph and Financial Times Book of the Year 'Confirms Coetzee as one of the great writers of fiction' Observer After his piano recital in Barcelona, Witold Walczykiewicz - white-haired virtuoso, controversial interpreter of Chopin - becomes infatuated with Beatriz, his designated companion at dinner. Beatriz, a stylish patron of the arts, is at first unmoved. But as the stranger's letters, music, and poetry flood into her home, a dream of love begins that surprises them both. 'One of the world's most original writers... He is still breaking new ground at the same time as revealing a funny side' i 'His prose, apparently simple, is so perfected at every turn that it is moving to read, line after line' Sunday Times
