Beschreibung

Jeremy Cooper, the author of Brian, returns with Discord, a subjective journey through the world of classical music. On a night in August, an audience at the Royal Albert Hall attends the first ever concert of Distant Voices. The Proms performance is the culmination of a year's work between the middle-aged composer Rebekah Rosen and the young star-saxophonist Evie Bennet. Alternating between both perspectives, Discord charts the course of their intense and at times fractious relationship, the resonances and dissonances both women find within one another, as well as the struggles and satisfactions that accompany an artistic life. At the heart of the novel is an inquiry into the generative force behind creative collaboration. In what ways does the inexpressible – that amorphous space of friction and unity between musicians – become indelible? And by what process do flawed individuals create works of transcendence? Deeply insightful, at turns poignant and wry, Discord affirms Jeremy Cooper's status as one of the most interesting fiction writers at work today.

    A secret kept for forty years to protect a village. A sentient forest that refuses to stay silent any longer. 
    For two volumes, the village of Thornwich has thrived under the warm, amber glow of the Understory—a sprawling, subterranean forest where massive roots grow toward the sky and magic is a daily domestic art. But beneath the swept dirt paths and the comforting rituals of freshly baked bread, an agonizing truth has been locked away. Cynthia Carmichael, the eldest Tender of Thornwich, has sacrificed her own peace to bury a history that would shatter the village she loves. 
    Now, in the explosive third installment of The Understory Inquiries, the earth is rejecting her massive deception. A violent tremor rips through the northern quadrant, bringing with it a chilling manifestation: a glowing door of reversed bark and amber glass. It radiates ancient, suffocating grief, demanding a terrifying reckoning. 
    As the ambient magic turns toxic and the brilliantly perceptive young Tender-in-training Isolde Ironspire begins to unravel the truth, Cynthia is pushed to her absolute breaking point. Forced to choose between tearing down her life's work to let her people face their history, or building even darker cages of control to suppress the sorrow, Cynthia realizes that a lie sustained by love is still a lie—and the fallout will be devastating. 
    Perfect for fans of grimdark fantasy, political intrigue, and gut-wrenching emotional stakes, The Amber Glass Door is a beautifully written, dystopia-infused epic that will leave you questioning the true cost of peace.
