The violinist Andreas Hymer arrives in a besieged city to give a concert and recover Amela Jensen. There, thanks to Ernest Bolsi, who defies the bombs to guide him through the empty music museum, he finds explanations and answers that help him accept his past and understand the mysterious disappearance of his mother, Sophie Kesner. The intertwined stories of these four characters alternate with the letters that museum visitors write to their families and friends, capturing the emotions, the capacity for survival, and the struggle in everyday misery. This novel tells us how beauty can survive war and how, in extreme situations, people are capable of the most abject and the most noble. Eduard Márquez reinterprets the myth of Orpheus, offering a beautiful parable about the power of music and the strength of love.
