Summary
Francesca Bridgerton is a concert pianist who has not played in eight months. Not since her daughter was born still, and the silence moved in where the music used to be.
Michaela Stirling is a painter whose work hangs in the Tate Modern and whose life has been falling apart in public since her fiancée died of a brain aneurysm two years ago. She is brilliant, reckless, and has earned every inch of her reputation as the art world’s favourite disaster.
They meet at a gallery opening and something happens that neither of them can name.
