She carries a letter from a man who mysteriously signs himself as \"the Old Musician\" and claims to have known her father in the Khmer Rouge prison where he disappeared twenty-five years ago. In Phnom Penh, Teera finds a society still in turmoil, where perpetrators and survivors of unfathomable violence live side by side, striving to mend their still beloved country. She meets a young doctor who begins to open her heart, confronts her long-buried memories, and prepares to learn her father's fate. Meanwhile, the Old Musician, who earns his modest keep playing ceremonial music at a temple, awaits Teera's visit. He will have to confess the bonds he shared with her parents, the passion with which they all embraced the Khmer Rouge's illusory promise of a democratic society, and the truth about her father's end. A love story for things lost and restored, a lyrical hymn to the power of forgiveness, Music of the Ghosts is a \"sensitive portrait of the inheritance of survival\" (USA TODAY) and a journey through the embattled geography of the heart where love can be reborn.","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833628209357,"sku":"9781476795799","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_6113eb1d-8e12-4c4c-acb4-cb44992337c6.jpg?v=1790890001","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/music-of-the-ghosts","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
