전 세계적인 베스트셀러 『내 이름은 데먼 코퍼헤드』의 작가 바버라 킹솔버가 선보이는 소설입니다.
열한 살 때 큰오빠 사이러스가 스스로 목숨을 끊은 사건은 리비아 보후시의 삶을 송두리째 바꿔 놓습니다. 농장을 뒤덮은 숨 막히는 침묵과 절망 속에서 리비아는 음악을 유일한 위안이자 도피처로 삼습니다. 피아노에 뛰어난 재능을 보인 그녀는 장학생으로 음대에 입학하며 세련된 동기들 사이에서 적응하려 애쓰면서도, 자신의 열정을 바칠 수 있는 음악의 세계 속에서 부모와 농장을 벗어난 새로운 삶의 가능성을 꿈꿉니다.
그러던 어느 봄날, 리비아의 눈길을 사로잡은 한 남자가 나타나고, 그 남자에 관한 질문을 던지면서 예상치 못한 강렬하고 삶을 바꿔 놓을 사랑에 빠지게 됩니다. 『Partita』는 좌절된 야망과 고통, 새로운 희망과 비극적 상실 속에서도 음악을 통해 자신을 새로이 세워 나가는 리비아의 깊은 회복력과 사랑, 그리고 예술에 대한 갈망을 그린 이야기입니다.
The story of a brief, passionate, life-changing love affair, wrapped up in what might be the greatest romance of all: our eternal human longing for art and beauty.
FROM THE GLOBAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR.
'She means to save us by telling us stories . . . She comes closer than anyone else I know' ANN PATCHETT
'[Kingsolver] reminds us that a novel can be wildly entertaining and still have a social conscience' NEW YORK TIMES, '100 Best Books of the 21st Century' (on Demon Copperhead)
You've taken Demon to your hearts, prepare for another 'emotionally raw, riotously entertaining' read as you meet Livia.
Here's my question: How does a person step in front of a train and leave everything right there?
Livia Bohusz misses her big brother, Cyrus. But since the day he took his own life, a day that changed everything, eleven-year-old Livia has also known she has no choice but to survive.
Her solace is music. A gifted pianist, Livia's only escape is the quiet rapture it brings as she practises. The promise of a new life her talent might offer is intoxicating, a life away from the stifling silence that has enveloped the farm since Cyrus' death.
When Livia starts college as a music major and scholarship prodigy, it feels as if a new life might begin. Immersing herself in her passions in a world where she excels, even as she struggles to fit in with more urbane classmates, she glimpses the possibilities of a life beyond the farm and her parents.
Then one springtime, the smell of reviving grass and crocuses and the sounds of songbirds fill the air, and Livia catches a glimpse of shirt sleeves rolled to the elbow, muscles you wouldn't miss in the rear view:
Who is that man?'
It is a question Livia may come to wish she had never asked.
Partita is Livia's story: It is a tale of thwarted ambitions, accumulated pain, of newfound hope, unexpected love, and endless resilience. It is as compelling and profound as the pieces Livia has mastered, and as heart-rending and engrossing as the music that makes, breaks and mends her.
