內容簡介

內容簡介 1493年,年僅14歲的布蘭卡在山丘上的ㄧ座修道院去世了,幾個世紀過去,當女作家喬治桑和知名音樂家蕭邦搬來馬略卡島上的這座城鎮,穿著男裝的喬治桑,大膽前衛的風格不僅引發當地居民熱烈討論,布蘭卡─一個徘徊近百年的鬼魂─居然無法自拔地被喬治桑吸引,她深深迷戀著這個看不見、也不知道她存在的女人,參與她的每一天生活與喜怒哀樂… ’A gorgeous, wildly seductive novel, shimmering with intelligence, humour and joy’ - Sarah Waters In 1838 Frédéric Chopin, George Sand and her children travel to a monastery in Mallorca. They are there to create and to convalesce, to live a simple life after the wildness of their Paris days. Witness to this tumultuous arrival is Blanca, the ghost of a teenage girl who has been at the monastery for over three hundred years. Blanca’s was a life cut short and she is outraged. Having lived in a world full, according to her mother, of ‘beautiful men’, she has found that in death it is the women she falls for, their beauty she cannot turn away from, and it is the women and girls who, over her centuries in the village and at the monastery, she has sought to protect from the attentions of men with what little power she has. And then George Sand arrives, this beautiful woman in a man’s clothes, and Blanca is in love. But the rest of the village is suspicious of the newcomers, and as winter sets in, as George tries to keep her family and herself from falling apart, as Chopin writes prelude after prelude in despair on his tuneless piano, their stay looks likely to end in disaster . . .
