Excerpt from A Daughter of Music
On a June day, when the air was still and the hot sun shone unshaded on the earth, a man walked over the heath toward Heather Den. It was between five and six o'clock in the afternoon, but on the treeless heath the heat was fierce still, and the man looked worn with exhaustion as he plodded on. He had athin, tired face; he was tall; his figure was spare, almost gaunt his hands were large, nervous, and strong.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating tale of love, longing, and spiritual exploration that unfolds in the isolated countryside. The story follows Anthony Dexter, an exhausted and alienated writer, who seeks refuge in a remote farmhouse called Heather Den to escape his demanding life in the city. Upon arriving, he encounters Rhoda Wichelow, a beautiful and enigmatic woman who possesses a powerful and haunting singing voice that stirs something deep within him. As Anthony becomes a lodger in the Wichelow household, he is drawn into the deeply spiritual world of Rhoda and her grandfather, a stern and mysterious old man. Through them, he learns about the power of music and the transformative nature of faith. However, the presence of Micah, a charismatic and potentially threatening stranger who appears to be interested in Rhoda, casts a shadow over the serenity of the household and raises questions about the true nature of the community that Anthony has stumbled upon. The novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the search for spiritual fulfillment. Anthony, with his world-weariness and cynicism, finds himself both fascinated and repelled by the simple faith of the villagers. Rhoda, torn between her desire for personal growth and her duty to her community, struggles to reconcile her beliefs with her own ambitions. The author delves deeply into the complexities of human nature, examining the ways in which love, loss, and faith can both connect and divide individuals.
