Publisher's Summary:
Northumberland, winter 1937. In a remote moorland cottage, Steven Coulter, a young history teacher, is filled with grief at the death of his wife. Through a charismatic colleague, Frank Embleton, and Frank's sister, Diana, he is drawn into the beguiling world of a group of musicians and falls under their spell. But as war approaches, a decision is made which calls all their lives shockingly into question.
Moving between the isolated beauty of the moors, a hill-town school and a graceful old country house, Trio explores conscience and idealism, love and desire, and the power of music to disturb, uplift and affirm.
Members Reviews:
A book that draws you in quietly.
Grief is hard to write about well. It can quickly descend into parody or empty melodrama. This story allows you the luxury, if that is a correct word to use in this context, of one year in the life of a man mourning the sudden, tragic death of his young wife. Evocatively using the long days of bitter winter cold, we gradually witness a thaw, both in the season and his life.
Loss and longing and love. So much love
I reached into this jewel box of a novel and pulled out a bouquet of cow parsley and a starched handkerchief. Heard the call of curlews, the bawling of lambs, the strains of a Mendelssohn trio. Felt the cold of a stone cottage on the moors and the heat of a crackling fire in an old country house called Hepplewick. Hot tea from heavy silver. Forsythia blossoms floating in rain puddles. A grand piano and a grandfather clock. An ancient resinous cedar tree hung with a swing. Capability Brown and a ha-ha. Beethoven, Brahms, Elgar. A shell-shocked veteran of the Somme weeping at a Christmas concert. Letters written on heavy cream stock. Loss and longing and love. So much love. Read this book.
