Description
Only his music could reveal the truth ...
The career of acclaimed
cellist, Iain Millar, is in tatters. Allegations of sexual harassment
while teaching in a girl's school have left him unemployable, and he
soon spirals into depression. Iain sees himself as a failure and falls
into a dark place where his cello playing provides the only light.
When
fresh revelations appear to implicate Iain in the abuse of his ambitious
wife, Una Carrington, the world is quick to decide his guilt. Iain's
precious antique cello then disappears, and even music is lost to him.
Fergus O'Neal, a fellow string player, sets out to recover the missing instrument and Iain's only hope of redemption ...

F.E. D, Reviewer
A gripping story about a man whose life is all about his love for music and his three children, and a woman who fails to understand that not every setback in life can be fixed. Sometimes it makes more sense to give in (her business falling apart, their financial struggles, the accusations of three teenage girls concerning Iain) than to keep fighting as if that will make all their troubles go away.
It was interesting to see how both Iain and Una have their moments of willing to save their marriage, these moments are sparse. But for Una life is about simply winning or losing, she can't resist the urge to prove her point. And if Iain did not have his good friend Fergus - always with a witty reply to keep the mood lightly on the one hand and his persistence to be there for his mate on the other - Iain would have been nowhere.
