Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

grandmother. About The Book Gems of the imagination flow effortlessly from the pen of Fran Edelstein in this powerful collection of short stories. Composed of seven tales, Set to Music takes you on a dramatic journey into the very depths of the human heart. Spanning six countries and two continents, the title short story, "Set to Music," tells of Anne, a pianist faced with an overwhelming obstacle that only love-and perhaps even a miracle-can transcend. An island resort provides a quiet retreat for a parent's soul-searching in "Head Over Heart," while "Deedu" is a tender and engaging story about a special friendship between a child and a Russian immigrant. Sweeping away time, two World War II survivors uniquely relive their past as they meet again in "Lilacs," and life and death in a hospital morgue create a curious dialogue about how we as humans navigate this world in "The Paper Boat." In "The Road Ahead," doubts and fears turn to triumphs for a group of actors encountering a major detour as they head for the Eiffel Tower, while "The Mantilla" tells the riveting story of how a lace mantilla spreads mischief. Vivid, heartfelt, and beautifully written, Set to Music creates an emotional tapestry of the human soul.
