Eleah’s comments from the Q&A with Syrie James group.

I am totally up with the idea of a sequel, it would be awesome ! anyway thanks a lot for this Q&A and for Nocturne (I should receive my copy of the book next week, can't wait to have it). Take care Syrie

I don't know if it may be in your range of interest, but I have always missed a great book about Japan. I find this country and its history full of poetry.

Hello,
So I may be a bit out of the topic here, but I wanted to add something. Apart from the love at first sight thing that I truly believe in, I have to say that I found the ending of "Nocturne" really remarkable.
It would have been easier for us readers to have a happy ending because the actual totally is heartbreaking. But the strength in it is the realism it gives to the story and also a great lesson : sometimes love is about letting people go...

Hi Syrie,
First thanks for taking the time for this Q&A, and also let me tell you I really loved "Nocturne".

I wanted to ask you about the importance of the music in "Nocturne". Being a huge music lover, and music being part of my work, I instantly fell for it in the book.
I was wondering why you had chosen to add it considering Mickael already has lots of artistic skills ? And also what made you think of it as being a key to expressing their emotions ? How did you weave it into the story line ?

Sorry for my many questions, I am really curious about how you made that one and it is so rare in books to have music so cleverly added. By the way I made a review of your book if you are curious : http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Thanks a lot !
