A young composer, Vernon Deyre, presumed dead in WWI, reinvents himself amid love and artistic sacrifice.
About
Details
The first of her novels published under the nom-de-plume “Mary Westmacott”, Agatha Christie’s romantic tragedy is spectacular and elegantly written. This book is an experiment for both author and reader: Agatha wanted to see if her novel would survive on its own merit without the hype of the famous name, while I as a reader was interested to see if her writing style - which works so well in the murder mystery genre - would still stand strong in the romance genre.
