À propos de cet audio
A taut, sultry new novel of obsession and rivalry set in the concert halls and ballet theaters of 1950s France.
Max Kitson is a world-renowned pianist, and his twin sister, Natasha, is his manager and minder. But when, in 1957, at age 20, the former prodigy begins making uncharacteristic mistakes, he abruptly cancels his latest world tour. Without consulting Natasha, Max arranges to stay in the home of an enigmatic French patron, never realizing that Henri has been his sister’s lover.
Over the course of one summer, Natasha’s long-simmering resentments and Max’s deep insecurities drive the siblings apart as each vie for Henri’s attentions. But neither twin can have their host entirely to themselves, because while, during the day, Henri woos Natasha with lavish gifts and trips to the ballet, it’s Max’s music that draws Henri from bed each night.
Gorgeously and grippingly written, Crescendo is an unforgettable escape with the pacing of a thriller and the depths of a family saga.
