Notni zapis ljubavi

Notni zapis ljubavi

Daphne Kalotay

When composer and conductor Nicholas, a rising star in the world of classical music, joins the Boston Conservatory, he falls in love with violin student Remy and leaves his wife Hazel and young daughter Jessie.

Remy still feels guilty for destroying someone else's family for a long time, Jessie can't get over her anger at her father for what he did to her mother, while Hazel fears the loneliness of a divorced woman. But after nearly two decades of these characters struggling with their own losses and pain, a spirit of mutual understanding, reconciliation, and generosity develops and grows, especially on Hazel's part. The alternating past and present chronology of the story has an exciting musical background consisting of passages of Nicholas's composing and Remy's violin playing, with a revised glossary of musical terms at the end of the book. In her new novel The Note of Love, author Daphne Kalotay (Russian Winter) sets the story of four inextricably linked characters on the Boston music scene. The greatest value of the novel is hidden precisely in the details, especially in the author's descriptions of the artistic creative process and the fact that we are ready to sacrifice everything in the name of art, and the result is an attractive, touching and often shrewd read. "Kalotay writes about music and feelings so elegantly and skilfully... A moving story about what we are ready to do in the name of art as well as in the name of love."
