She carries a letter from a man who mysteriously signs himself as “the Old Musician” and claims to have known her father in the Khmer Rouge prison where he disappeared twenty-five years ago. In Phnom Penh, Teera finds a society still in turmoil, where perpetrators and survivors of unfathomable violence live side by side, striving to mend their still beloved country. She meets a young doctor who begins to open her heart, confronts her long-buried memories, and prepares to learn her father’s fate. Meanwhile, the Old Musician, who earns his modest keep playing ceremonial music at a temple, awaits Teera’s visit. He will have to confess the bonds he shared with her parents, the passion with which they all embraced the Khmer Rouge’s illusory promise of a democratic society, and the truth about her father’s end. A love story for things lost and restored, a lyrical hymn to the power of forgiveness, Music of the Ghosts is a “sensitive portrait of the inheritance of survival” (USA TODAY) and a journey through the embattled geography of the heart where love can be reborn.\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 140 x 210\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Vaddey Ratner\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781476795799\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePages: 352\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46090825171097,"sku":"1RB9781476795799","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/69668a69d7a7c_Music_of_the_Ghosts_A_Novel.jpg?v=1768574198","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/music-of-the-ghosts-a-novel","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
