Quarter tones

by Susan Mann

"When Ana returns to the cottage of her youth in the seaside village of Noordhoek, near Cape Town, it's to sort out her late father's affairs. But it soon becomes clear that more is at stake...After living in London, her return to South Africa distances her already strained marriage to Michael. She is welcomed by her neighbour, Franz van der Veer, an architect searching for redemption. This is further complicated by the arrival of his eccentric brother, Daniel. Against a tangle of childhood memories, scarred histories and renewed hope, Ana confronts the death of her father, and her questions of guilt and belonging."--BOOK JACKET.
