Paul is a dreamer, his head alive with rippling pianos, gentle violins and the smiles of Margaret - the one he loves. But it is the Depression and no one has time for music or dreams. No one, that is, until Paul meets Eric - Eric the Red, who is just one step ahead of the law.

Review:
'From its exquisite opening line to the moving finale, this elegantly delineated tale never strikes a false note. Disher is a gifted writer. [An] evocative, emotionally charged coming-of-age story. The only downside to this book is its brevity. Like a particularly savoury appetizer, it simply whets the reader's appetite for more.' (Publisher’s Weekly, US)
