1886, autunno. L'accordatore di piano Edgar Drake riceve una strana richiesta dal Ministero della Guerra britannico: deve lasciare sua moglie e la sua tranquilla vita londinese per trasferirsi nella giungla birmana e accordare un raro esemplare di pianoforte Érard. Lo strumento appartiene al colonnello medico Carroll, comandante dai metodi poco ortodossi di un avamposto dell'esercito inglese in una zona sperduta e ostile della Birmania. Nel suo viaggio attraverso l'Europa, il Mar Rosso e l'India, Edgar Drake incontra strani e coloriti personaggi. Per "Publishers Weekly" il romanzo ricorda al tempo stesso Conrad, Memorie di una geisha e Il paziente inglese .

Set in Vienna in 1914, a twenty-two-year-old medical student named Lucius is drawn to the battlefield by romantic notions of surgery. He enlists, hoping for a role in a well-organized field hospital, but instead finds himself at a makeshift outpost in a commandeered church in the Carpathian Mountains, struggling against typhus and an overwhelming sense of isolation. With most doctors having fled, only a mysterious nurse, Sister Margarete, remains to guide him. Lacking experience, Lucius must quickly adapt to the brutal realities of war medicine while developing feelings for Margarete. The situation intensifies when an unconscious soldier arrives, his uniform adorned with strange drawings. Lucius faces a critical choice that will irrevocably alter the fates of the doctor, the patient, and the nurse. This narrative weaves through the opulence of Imperial Vienna to the harshness of the Eastern Front, exploring themes of love, family, and the moral complexities of war. It is a poignant tale of the mistakes we make and the chances we have to seek redemption amidst the chaos of history.
