A new, one-minute book trailer captures the poignancy and beauty of Lucy’s story, with visuals of Galway and 1920s Sydney.
Borodin’s beautiful Nocturne, third movement from his String Quartet No. 2 in D major, sets the mood. Paired in a program with Haydn’s “Fifths” quartet, this music features in the key climax of the story, the concert in Chapter 50.
