Concertos In D Major: A Novel

by Kathy Alba

Lovely Kyleigh, composer and superb violinist, grieves endlessly when her brilliant husband, Maestro Christophe Levésque, develops Alzheimer’s. Alone with Beanbag, her fluffy Old English sheepdog, she fashions her music and stares out to sea, watching the passionate pounding of the surf and believing her life is over. Amid the wild grandeur of Oregon’s north coast, she meets Sanders Bardrick, southern poet and professor of medieval studies. Her immediate attraction to the ruggedly beautiful man and his near-obsession with her rumble with a power the whole village of Cannon Beach feels. But Kyleigh’s high principles and faith lead her to find the idea of divorce both spiritually and ethically unthinkable—even though her husband has not recognized her for several years. Hers is a poignant and inspirational struggle of moral values in a world of selfishness, laxity, and compromise.
