The Fire Concerto: A Novel

"I’m also intrigued by Sarah Landwich’s The Fire Concerto , described as “a literary pageturner” about a 19th-century Polish pianist, whose career was derailed when her hands were damaged during a concert hall fire. After the death of her former mentor, she finds herself owner of a priceless antique metronome with a mysterious past. The writer, herself a classically-trained pianist, has said she drew inspiration from her study of the Romantic movement, and sees it sitting alongside other plot-driven-but-artistically-respectable books like A.S. Byatt’s Possession . This is probably one for you if you enjoy love a well-written historical mystery ."
