Four generations of the same family told by four children, from a twenty-first-century Californian to a German girl of the 1940s. Each voice is the parent of the previous one and carries the political or intimate upheavals of its time. The novel reflects on memory, fidelity and music as an alternative to lies.

For readers of literary fiction, family sagas and Canadian narrative; also a common choice for book clubs.
