MUSIC & SILENCE Award Winning Novel by Rose Tremain In the year 1629, a yound English lutenist named Peter Claire arrives at the Danish Court to join King Chrisitian IVs Royal Orchestra. From the moment when he realises that the musicians perform in a freezing cellar underneath the royal apartments, Peter Claire understands that he's come to a place where the opposing states of light and dark, good and evil, are waging war to the death. Designated the King's Angel because of his good looks, he finds himself falling in love with the young woman who is the companion to the King's adulterous and estranged wife Kirsten. With his loyalties fatally divided between duty and passion, how can Peter Claire find the path that will realise his hopes and save his soul? Music & Silence tells a story that is both violent and tender, shocking and consoling. This is a rich, provocative and perfectly original book, which shows the day to day business of living constantly transformed into the the condition of fable or fairy tale. With that sure alchemical touch that always turns her histories into a kind of magic, Rose Tremain once again transports us deep into the strange, beating heart of human life.
