At the court of Christian IV of Denmark, the young English lutenist Peter Claire joins the royal orchestra, which plays in a freezing cellar so that the music reaches the king. Amid courtly intrigues and forbidden passions, music becomes solace or ruin, in a narrative about love, chance, and destiny in the seventeenth century.
Originally published in English as «Music & Silence», it won the 1999 Whitbread Prize for Best Novel.
Intended for readers of historical fiction and period dramas with music as a guiding thread.
