Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In this ambitious novel, Vina Apsara, a beloved singer, disappears during a devastating earthquake, marking the beginning of her extraordinary story intertwined with that of Ormus Cama, her lover. Ormus's life in music is a journey of finding, losing, and seeking Vina repeatedly. Their epic romance is narrated by Rai, Ormus's childhood friend and Vina's occasional lover, whose compelling voice weaves together stories, myths, and emotions, making him the book's true hero. As he recounts Ormus and Vina's tale, Rai also reveals his own truths, grappling with human failings and immortal longings while navigating the loves and conflicts of the era’s deities. The world around them begins to tremble, with cracks appearing in reality, hinting at deeper abysses below the surface. This gripping narrative serves as a bold imaginative act, reflecting on our tumultuous times and exploring the complex relationship between East and West. It reimagines the myth of Orpheus, blending high and low comedy, passion, and culture in a vibrant tale of love, death, and rock 'n' roll.
