Indyana Schneider: Since the World Is Ending, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Can we really get over an all-consuming love?
What kind of love should define our lives?

'This delicate requiem to musicians and their music - how it is born in their veins, why it bleeds from their skin - is larger than the small span of time it embodies, much like a symphony itself. And the utter poetry of the writing! I found myself gasping at a phrase, transported just the way the right series of notes would move me', Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author

'A lush, gorgeous novel that will completely immerse you in Vienna, seduce you with music and philiosophy and art, and then capture your heart', Eleanor Shearer, author of River Sing Me Home

'Musical, hypnotically lyrical, rhythmic and sensory', Laura Dockrill, author of I Love You I Love You I Love You

'Joyful, sensuous and erudite, Since the World is Ending is sharply observed and gloriously intelligent. A delight.' Jessica Moor, author of Keeper

'With a passion for music at its core, this is a great pick for fans of Deep Cuts .' Booksellers Circle Magazine

Maya is living her dream in Vienna. First violinist with the prestigious Habsburg Philharmonic, her days are filled with music, her nights with wild parties and passionate, no-strings-attached sex with her colleague, star cellist Lucia Rizzo.

But when Josh - the ex-love of Maya's life - unexpectedly shows up at her door, the perfect world she's built begins to unravel.

Set over a blisteringly hot weekend in a city where ghosts lurk in every alleyway, Since the World is Ending explores the sacrifices we make and the risks we take when we pour life into our art.

A novel about music, consequence, desire and the importance of love and art in a world on fire by a daring and uniquely compelling young novelist.
