Allison | 6 comments Another one I am trying to find.

It's about a woman who is a violinist, and joins an orchestra where they travel to Wales during the winter, and during the stay there she stays in a cabin with the composer/conductor.

The description of the house i remember, as it's one I loved; It had all the bedrooms on the bottom floor, with the kitch, dining room, and a sunken living room on the top floor, overlooking a frozen lake (which the woman falls into at one point, to be rescued by the conducto)

The man himself is Welsh. He begins a 'relationship' with the woman, even though i'm sure he is already in one (or engaged), to help improve her performance, so she can put feeling into the notes.

That's all i remember about it, but I absolutely LOVE this novel, so I would really love to find out the name of it!


Allison | 6 comments No, but that one sounds interesting.

The one I'm I'm looking for, I believe the man was seeing someone, as he's a famous violinist as well as a conductor

Is it set in the present? Where are they before traveling to Wales? (U.S., U.K., etc.)

Aerulan | 1317 comments How long ago did you read it?


Allison | 6 comments probably close to 11 years ago, it wasn't new when i got it, so it's most likely older than that.

I assume they were either in the US or the UK, at the time I read it, it seemed so, it may have been a few years behind, but nothing too old.

I'm actually leaning closer to it starting in NY, but I may be confusing it with another book on that.

Juels | 3314 comments This is in the solved folder but reading the comments, it seems like it should be moved to unsolved.

Allison, I moved this request to the Unsolved folder. Just let us know if you've already found the book.

Can you edit your first message and clarify the location might not be Wales but possibly NY? It's helpful to include a note like "Edited on June 7/16:".

What's the tone of this romance novel - e.g., romantic, angsty, erotic, bittersweet, etc.?

What's the time period (e.g., what type of technology was around)?

Ruzza | 296 comments This was in the unsolved folder when I followed it... Maybe Allison found the book and changed the folder but didn't give the name here?

Aerulan | 1317 comments the thread title looks like it was changed to include the found book title Battle With Desire - its on Allison's shelves.

Totaly missed that. Yeah I think that's it. So I guess this should be moved back to the solved file? :)))


message 13: by Juels (new)

Juels | 3314 comments Ah... You're probably correct. Didn't realize "battle with desire" was a book title. I thought it was part of the book description. Sorry, my bad.


Allison | 6 comments Sorry, yes I did find it, wasn't sure if I needed to comment, or just change the title. Thank you all though!

Allison, that's a good question. We ask the OP (original poster) to make a comment confirming their book is found. Once in awhile a change at the top is unintentional. This way we'll know for sure when we hear from the OP. Thanks for mentioning that.

In fact it's better not to change the title, sometimes we lose the information it contained and then have to go back and re-add it.
