Unaccountable Hours (eBook, ePUB)

Three Novellas

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Firmly set in and inspired by the Australian landscape, Unaccountable Hours offers three stories about the passions and beliefs that consume the time we call our own - our unaccountable hours - whether in music, family, nature, love or friendship. In 'The Luthier', a musician devotes his life to crafting a violin that will reproduce the perfect sound of Bach's Partitas and Sonatas; in 'Ethical Man' a biologist and birdwatcher is put to the ultimate ethical test whilst on a research expedition in the Australian outback; and in 'Like Water' an unlikely friendship and subsequent romance develops between two kindred spirits who are born generations apart.
