Description
In the quiet aftermath of a settled life, Livia Cable receives a phone call that summons the woman she once was: Livia Bohusz, a gifted young pianist consumed by music, ambition, and a dangerous love. As past and present unfold in a structure echoing musical dance, she revisits the losses, class divisions, and emotional upheavals that shaped her choices and altered her future. Partita is a sweeping meditation on memory, artistic longing, and the costs of devotion, asking whether beauty can redeem the wounds left by passion and abandonment. With psychological insight and lyrical intensity, the novel explores the transformative power of art and the possibility of reclaiming a life long thought lost.
