Paul Desroches is a shy and lonely child raised by his grandmother since the death of his parents in a car accident.
Chez Madame Thi, the neighbor, Paul discovers little Anna, already piano virtuoso, who snatched tears by interpreting the "Pavane for a dead".
Anna tells Paul how Ms. Thi left Vietnam with her son, after losing everything. A photo shows the front of a grandfather gingko, ancient tree that was to protect the private property of his hands.
Paul loves more than anything and Anna when a terrible disease prevails, it sends the disks it has registered to overcome death with famous music critics.
Their quality is sublime, but ...
This love story unusual is touching and moving. Minh Tran Huy interweaves the life of Paul and Anna wonderful Vietnamese legends that recall "The Princess and the fisherman" or "The lake was born in one night."
The narration of Paul's interrupted by articles that go little by little, we discover another reality.
Based on the true story of pianist Joyce Hatto, the story highlights the uncritical journalists often are content to copy excerpts from other articles without checking the sources.
It shows us as quick to burn what they had adored.
The ending is surprising, totally unexpected. It upsets and leaves a mixed feeling of frustration and admiration. It is with a heavy heart that closes this magnificent novel that, for my part, I loved it.
