Convinced from the very beginning of her pregnancy that her child would be the Mozart of the late 20th century, Céline immersed herself in classical music. But her son, born with an inexplicable intolerance to any melody, thwarted her ambitions. To escape the sonic nightmare, the young boy invented a talent that would change his life. In this novel, which also presents itself as a philosophical tale about forced vocations, Christophe Vieu draws us into a captivating story full of twists and turns, drawing on the rules of musical composition. He plays with contrasts, paradoxes, and symbols, creating endearing and complex characters. With his baroque style, and with nonchalance and lightness, the author explores our society obsessed with success and art, inviting the reader to question the obsession with precocious genius. In this world where everything is falling apart, is love the only harmony? Publication date: March 1, 2024 Order
