I married a song. I did this secretly for about five years.
When I heard it, the sun was setting, and I was in a heavenly expanse of an old house with milk-colored walls. I knew from the first beat that it was her, the song of my life. I only hesitated a little, and because I had never heard before about a legal ruling or a moral reason that prevents a woman from marrying a song, I made up my mind and married her.
Every night I put two headphones in my ears, and Yas Khader sings to me “Han wa Ana Ahn.” I adjust the tremors of my soul to the tremors of the sad Iraqi melody, and I drink Yas’s voice through all my pores. The song cauterizes my heart, and it melts, pouring tears, rain drops, and dew beads, and then it snows. Have mercy on me gently, and I will give birth to butterflies, starlings, and daffodils.
I smile before I sleep, and many women smile with me. I may not know them, but I know that they are like me. A song may revive them, or a song may kill them.
Alone on Baraway Island, Ingrid lives after everyone has left, roaming the ruins, repairing what can be repaired, and catching fish and bodies that wash up on the island's shores. The young woman struggles to hide a big secret that could put her in danger, as the country witnesses the final months of World War II.
In this novel, Roy Jacobsen completes the story of Barawe Island, which began with "The Invisibles", with his delicate narration, natural images, and brief sentences that hide the truest and hottest feelings behind them.
“White Sea” is a novel about new beginnings that make their way from the ashes of a devastating war, about friendships and love, the faces of those passing by and the dead, and about people who remain where they are in the face of war, bidding farewell to the departed and receiving those returning, and monitoring the passing of days and the succession of seasons.
Peralbo plays jazz in Lady Bird, where Lucrezia heard him and became passionate about his music, and he fell in love with its mystery.
After a long time, the narrator meets that musician “Peralbo” again, but now he takes the name “Giacomo Dolphin” and lives a different life. What happened during these years? Why did he change his name? What is the story of the stolen painting? Is the title of the song “Lisbon,” which is repeated over and over again, the key to the mysterious past?
In the humid rainy streets, in night bars drowned in smoke, and in nights filled with blue and pink lights, and to the rhythm of jazz music, the novel’s heroes strive to understand love, music, and the secret of a city from which there is no point in escaping, because it will follow them to the ends of the world.
In this novel, which won the National Prize for Literature and the Critics' Prize in Spain, Antonio Muñoz Molina writes, with a graceful detective plot, a love poem in love with music.
