Perhaps the best book to discover or to discover this excellent author of science fiction that seems largely unknown to the adult audience in France: one volume (Personally I loved the Chronicles of the Alvin Maker but hey, a dozen it may discourage volumes), also a moving story qu'accrochante with strong themes around power (and) music. Just try for a moment to imagine the strength that can have a perfect expression of the broad spectrum of human emotions through song, give this gift has a very young child ... and you get an idea of the subject.
