... the whole book... gave me the furtive feeling of reading private letters to which I'd been given unwarranted access' OBSERVER. - Elin and Finn are lovers. She is a poet, from Copenhagen - he is Irish and a writer. They both have families of their own. But after meeting on a holiday they are instantly attracted to each other and begin a thrillingly intense and passionate affair - one which is fuelled more by their letters and silences than by their actual meetings, which fill only 47 days in a relationship lasting 5 years. - BORNHOLM NIGHT-FERRY is the powerful record of the thoughts, suspicions and longings which compound their struggle to keep their relationship alive. '... as a demonstration of the language of love (and the nature of love), of two people tiring and inspiring themselves and each other by their intense monologuing. - BORNHOLM NIGHT-FERRY is an inspired piece of writing' THE SUNDAY TIMES

Reseña del editor
Chopin's funeral, bisecting the 19th century, stands as a turning point, with both his life and music playing out at the crossroads. His decline and death, following a series of catastrophes and on the brink of a new style, were final chapters in an often tragic life, but also reflected larger historical forces. This biography views his death as one foretold as the sum of other tragedies: the end of a world that fostered his particular genius; the wounds of exile; and most fatally, the loss of love. An intimate close- up of the composer's last years, it is also the story of the artist as hero. At the close of his life, with no home or money, his physical powers failing, Chopin grappled with nothing less than a new musical form.
