"'Rhapsody is a brilliantly well-written novel, the glittering prose properly underpinned by humour, psychological depth, and dialogue of "marvellous suppleness"... No writer could reach this pitch of acuity by mere research. Ford... has worked as a musician. Rhapsody, almost incredibly, is his first novel.' Andrew Martin, Daily Telegraph; 'Anything to do with the fall of the Berlin Wall always fascinates me and I thought the way it was dealt with here quite different from other novels - much more original in meaning... An intelligent, thoughtful novel.' Margaret Forster"

It's autumn 1989 and the Berlin Wall is about to fall. Cooper Barrow is an American who has come to Europe to make his mark as an orchestral conductor. He is apprenticed to legendary maestro Karlheinz Ziegler, a man whose lessons are notoriously incendiary. Between Ziegler's bruising tutorials Cooper is befriended by Petra, a flirtatious oboist from East Germany, and the inexperienced American is instantly smitten.But despite the intensity of their passion, Petra's past remains utterly closed to him and her connection to Ziegler unexplained. Then, in the dead of winter, as Germany struggles to reunite, Cooper's world is torn apart in a shock of understanding.

'An unexpected love story, a political parable, and an intimate portrait of regeneration, Rhapsody is one of the finest debut novels in years. Here comes a new voice, already fully nuanced' Colum McCann
