An interesting take on two wonderful composers.

 

I was pleased that NetGalley asked m to review this book as i really loved Bournville which I reviewed by this author a while ago.

The Author using facts (which I was unaware of)  and a close friendship which developed between the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams and  composer Maurice Ravel The author develops a friend who brings them together who was an aspiring lover of Ravel..  The Great War comes along  and  then continued mostly through letter writting.

The novel continues to the composers deaths-  Ravel in 1937,  and Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1958.

An interesting take on two wonderful composers.

Coe writes such interesting novels and this is due to be published today - so will make a good Christmas stocking filler.
