Forty-Five: A Novel of Purpose, Music, and the Secrets We Bury - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

At forty-five, Daniel Kessler is an actuary who calculates everyone's risks but his own — numb, divorced, and quietly grieving a father he never understood. Then a stranger's violin stops him cold in the middle of Times Square. Vera Sokolova is a former Soviet concertmaster turned street musician, carrying a past far heavier than the tip jar at her feet. As their unlikely friendship deepens through illness, estrangement, and a hidden painting kept secret for twenty-three years, Daniel finally begins to paint again, forgive his father, and rebuild his daughter-estranged friend's broken family — never suspecting that Vera's quiet life conceals a Cold War secret that three of the world's intelligence agencies have spent decades trying to bury. A literary drama about finding purpose in midlife that opens the door to an international spy thriller. Book One of the Nightingale Cycle.
