Description
A weathered original sonata manuscript comes into the hands of Meta Taverner, a young musicologist whose concert piano career was cut short by an injury. The gift is accompanied by a request to find the manuscript's true owner, a Prague friend separated from her during the Second World War. As Meta sets out on her search, she must locate the remaining movements of the sonata and uncover its story. Leaving New York behind, Meta travels to the land of Dvorak and Kafka in pursuit of the music's secrets. However, she is not alone in her quest, and it becomes clear that others are also seeking the sonata's mysteries. The Prague Sonata is a captivating tale of music, history, and obsession, as Meta navigates a complex web of clues and unexpected encounters.
