Gabriel's love blossoms from initial outrage, when Inez upsets Gabriel by singing too loudly, to survive many years, many performances (including one rehearsal in London 1940, during the blitz), and even an assault from a hotheaded rival. Gabriel Atlan-Ferrara, a symphony conductor renowned for his brio, falls in love with Inez Rosenzweig, an opera singer. This brief novel, unlike the historical epic The Years with Laura Díaz, tells two simple stories in a manner that rises to great heights of narrative improvisation without overstepping its bounds. ![]()
