PRAISE FOR MICHAEL KR GER "Kr ger . . . offers a deft, witty, and totally jaundiced view of the domestic scene. His characters behave with the nonchalance of pure instinct, unaware that the world they inhabit is wholly awry."--The Times Literary Supplement (London), PRAISE FOR MICHAEL KRüGER "Krüger . . . offers a deft, witty, and totally jaundiced view of the domestic scene.

Synopsis
The narrator of this wonderfully perceptive, highly entertaining tale of love and loss is a middle-aged German composer who writes serious avant-garde music, but makes a living writing theme music for television. When Judit, an ambitious young cello player from Budapest (whose mother was once the composer's lover and who may or may not be his daughter), shows up on his doorstep, he agrees to take her in while she studies at the conservatory in Munich. Judit's presence evokes memories of a far different time for the composer, when life was about art and his biggest concern was finding a room for an afternoon tryst. When our protagonists set out for the composer's house in southern France, where he will finish his opera and she will master her instrument, it gradually becomes clear that this young woman is playing more than the cello. Funny, ironic, and oddly illuminating.
