From the acclaimed author of "Passion" comes an audacious, brilliant and haunting novel in which the worlds of nineteenth-century theatre, of Romantic art and music, of revolutionary Europe, of inspiration and madness, are presented with the dazzle of a world-class orchestra. "Symphony" embodies the wild intensity of the lives of the actress Harriet Smithson and Hector Berlioz. Harriet was Berlioz's muse and his "Symphonie Fantastique", directly inspired by her, changes the course of music forever. But their lives take a dramatic, tragic and incredible turn when life begins to imitate art.
