Description
The Ghost of Frederic Chopin by Eric Faye is a bewitching mystery set in post-Communist Prague. Vera Foltynova, a widow in her late 50s, claims to receive visits from the ghost of great composer Frederic Chopin, who allegedly dictates dozens of compositions to her. Many dismiss her story as a hoax, while others swear that the music has the same beauty and refinement as the work of the dead master. Ludvik Slany, a secret police agent-turned-television journalist, is assigned to debunk Vera's claims with a documentary. As he tries to uncover evidence of a scam, he begins to question whether he may be witnessing a genuine miracle. This engrossing story explores themes of music, faith and the ghosts of the past, raising questions about the power of art to transcend time and mortality.
