258 pages : 25 cm Two summer romances, centuries apart. A 42-year-old divorcee writing a book about the relationship between the 19th century Germa pianist Clara Schumann and her husband's young protege, the composer Johannes Brahms, discovers parallels with her own life At forty-two, Jeanette Hochmann, newly divorced from her husband of more than a decade, struggles to reassemble her life with her young daughter. Lately, the world seems bereft of the passion that's always inspired and sustained her, first as a child prodigy at the piano, later as a teacher and writer of fiction. Now, she can't seem to get traction on her latest book, a novel based on the forty-year relationship between nineteenth-century German pianist Clara Schumann and her husband's handsome young protege, the composer Johannes Brahms. Through a chance encounter, Jeanette meets a native ofLeipzig, Clara's birthplace -- a mysterious entrepreneur whose casual help with translations of diaries and letters blooms into something more. There are things about men and women, he insists, that do not change. The two embark on a whirlwind emotional journey that leads Jeanette to a similar crossroads faced by Clara Schumann
