Dr. Brian Thomas | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Mysterious, impassioned, and deceptively light in tone, The Surgeon's Tale has a hauntingly beautiful theme. With human frailty at its heart, it offers moments of wonderful joy, physical ecstasy and creative fulfilment.But there's a dark side to the lives of the musical trio who form the core of the story: two beautiful sisters 'married' to the same man; crime and punishment; psychological breakdown and demonic possession; and finally redemption to a new way of life and a shared expression through musical performance.Set in the valleys of South Wales and on the chalk cliffs of Beachy Head, this powerful novel is as taut as a violin string, as rich as a symphony and as tender as a cradle song. Listen carefully and enjoy...
