Aldo Neri, a virtuoso violinist, receives on the eve of a major concert in Paris manuscripts written by his mother shortly before she committed suicide. His compulsive reading confronts him with the story of Anna, his mother, and her relationship with a ventriloquist who would end up being his father, revealing wounds that marked the man and forged the artist; music is central to the novel.
