«Contrapunt» is the novel by Dutch writer Anna Enquist, published in 2008 by Singel Uitgeverijen in hardback (202 pages, in Dutch).
A woman studies Bach's Goldberg Variations and, variation by variation, immerses herself in her memory; the moments of a family —a woman, a man, a daughter and a son— pass by between happiness, pain and anger. Memory is not chronological; music accompanies absence and ends in a farewell.
The novel was nominated for the Libris Literatuurprijs in 2009. The cover of this edition shows the subtitle «roman».
It will appeal to readers of contemporary European fiction, especially those seeking intimate stories about grief, memory and family bonds.
Anna Enquist is the pen name of one of the more popular authors in the Netherlands, Christa Widlund-Broer. She is known for both her poetry and her novels.
