They hire Irena, the only woman musician at a classical music festival. Years later in the memory unit of a nursing home, Irena recalls her unsettling relationship with the group's enigmatic composer when she receives the sonata he left her in his will. She relives the four days spent with him, the difficult aftermath of their affair, and the few other times she saw him during her life. As her mind shuts down, she re-experiences the intense joy she felt performing music and her struggle to enter a male-dominated world. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Women musicians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sexism in music $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Reminiscing in old age $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 650 7 $a Reminiscing in old age. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01094438 650 7 $a Sexism in music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114725 650 7 $a Women musicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178182 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032806.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2242FC3678F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
