SIGNED BY TIMOTHY FINDLEY on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; In 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II, a young piano tuner, Charlie Kilworth, faces two enigmatic questions: who was his father? And, given the madness that consumed his mother, does he dare become a father himself? As Charlie uncovers the bizarre and triumphant story of his mother, he begins to understand her need to escape, her fear of the voices beckoning from within the flames and her compulsion to heal the walking wounded. and, when he begins to forgive her for his own childhood, he arrives, finally, at the resolution of his quandaries about fatherhood. A loving, sad and magical, this book has a lingering melody that plays on long after the last page has been turned.
