Title : The Orchards of Heaven - Christian Charrière - book

Summary :

Is it possible for the past to remain? Do "these great nocturnal pockets where . lived survives" really exist? And isn't the deposit of shadow we carry within us a "being of darkness" emerging from abolished times, which dislocates us and unfolds through us? This book is the story of Tristan and his shadow, of their struggle, then of their rapprochement and their fusion through art and in the light. A young virtuoso pianist with a still imperfect touch, Tristan will have to, in order to fulfill himself, coincide with his inner ghost: he will have to reconcile himself with his shadow. Thus he will become like the orchards of the sky: rooted among the graves of a children's cemetery, their apple trees rain down fruits of light on the city below. Piano notes that play out in a park, the sumptuous landscapes of a Jura summer, an abandoned spa resort that vegetation slowly invades, the weight of a mysterious past whose echo persists like footsteps that never stop moving away: these shimmering colors, this music of nostalgia compose a great romantic book, both dark and sunny, a story of love and anguish where the central call of the sacred rumbles!
