| About the Book
Woven of music, art,
spirituality, strange attractors, dreaming, Thomas de Quincey, Jacob
Boehme, Séance in B Minor unfurls a poignant, occasionally
surreal story fabric. Research psychologist Allison Hart gains a
strange intuition about music from an abstract painting's hues and
forms. Her quest takes her from a mental institution in Chicago to
the snow-clad Black Forest of Germany as she searches for traces of
a lost, enigmatic musical score.
Allison's motivation is more
than professional curiosity: a painful, half-repressed memory seems
inexplicably tied to this music. Unsettling questions disturb and
compel her. Does reality spring from a divine fountainhead? Is there
a connection between music and higher consciousness? Between
insanity and a spiritual realm?
Surreal, philosophical, and touching, Séance in B Minor wafts
alluring music and sighs suppressed grief amid the hauntedness of
dreams.
