Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall

In `Nocturnes`, the author explores ideas of love, music and the passing of time. From the piazzas of Italy to the Malvern Hills, a London flat to the `hush-hush floor` of an exclusive Hollywood hotel, the characters we encounter range from young dreamers to cafe musicians to faded stars, all of them at some moment of reckoning. This quintet is marked by a haunting theme – the struggle to keep alive a sense of life`s romance, even as one gets older, relationships flounder and youthful hopes recede.
