| Publisher Description: Like the movements of a sonata in a minor key, the short stories in Trio in D minor cover a full range of emotions--from ecstatic joy to the depths of despair. Each tale leads its characters on a journey they did not expect to take--a journey from which there is no return. In "K.626," Professor Richard Holyfield is accepted to an arts in education program in Vienna, Austria, where he will study Mozart. There he meets the beautiful and intelligent Baroness Edith von Bruckner, who introduces him to the mysterious K.626 Society. Translator Frank Boucher learns a deadly lesson about love when he tracks down the author of the steamy pieces in "Harmless Little Stories." In the story "The Nightingale," Roberto and Ingrid Delgado seem to have the perfect marriage, but loneliness and busy schedules can sometimes drive even the most loving marriage apart. From Vienna to Chicago and New York to the Dominican Republic, love is the constant theme of Trio in D minor. For some, love is a carousel of delight, on which they wish to ride forever; but, for others, it is a nightmarish journey to eternal pain and suffering. |
