About This Book
A renowned music teacher's life collapses when his wife and young daughter vanish, driving him from the concert stage into an obsessive, years-long search across continents. The narrative follows his physical and emotional decline, the sacrifices and poverty that accompany exile, and the endurance of parental devotion. Interwoven scenes in crowded urban settings and among other households reveal the consequences of absence for the next generation, including romantic entanglements and social tensions. The story culminates in reunions and reckonings that test loyalty, illuminate past choices, and explore the consolations and limits of art and human connection.
