Totally brilliant and very absorbing, I really loved this book and have given it to so many people since I read it. Part historical fiction, part romance, it's very atmospheric and strange. The characters are weird and wonderful inventions and are beautifully drawn and so detailed. V highly recommended.

On a table

I was sitting drinking a cup of tea in my favourite coffee shop waiting to get the keys for my new flat and I saw a woman walk in, place a book down on the table and leave. Intrigued, I walked over and picked up the book, happy to see the little yellow post-it declaring: "I''m free!" I took it as a sign that everything with the flat would work out OK. And a few weeks later, I''m sitting here in an internet cafe in Hvar, Croatia, having finished Music and Silence and ready to set it free again.
Lying on rocky beaches, in between exploring Dubrovnik and various Dalmatian islands, I went to Denmark and found a strange intriguing story about a King, an almost queen, a lutenist and a young girl and their lovers and families. I liked Countess O''Fingal best.
