Description



About the Book



"Julia Lerner was born in Dresden in 1933 and suffered the horror of the Second World War as a teenager. Years later, Marxist propaganda made her the best pianist and composer of the Soviet Union and exhibited her on the most important stages in the world. But music is not the only virtue that makes Julia a special woman. With above-average intelligence, the young pianist creates codes that are difficult to decipher through melodies and knows how to read lips in several languages. However, her uniqueness becomes a threat when Cold War tensions rise and informers, KGB agents and CIA spies move behind the scenes. It will be then that Julia, driven by the desire for freedom and the need to protect her family, will have to confront the regime that until now has controlled the reins of her career and her future. He will risk his life, he will sacrifice his freedom, but no one will be able to take true love from him."--



Book Synopsis



Regresa la autora de El baile de las marionetas, el fenómeno editorial que despunta en España, Estados Unidos y México.

Una heroína única. Una mujer con un don excepcional. Una historia de valentía y generosidad, amor y traición.

Julia Lerner nació en Dresde en 1933 y sufrió en plena adolescencia, el horror de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Años después, la propaganda marxista la convierte en la mejor pianista y compositora de la Unión Soviética y la exhibe en los más importantes escenarios del mundo.

Pero la música no es la única virtud que hace de Julia una mujer especial. Con una inteligencia superior a la media, la joven pianista crea códigos difíciles de descifrar a través de las melodías y sabe leer los labios en varios idiomas. Sin embargo, su singularidad se vuelve una amenaza cuando la tensión de la Guerra Fría se dispara y delatores, agentes del KGB y espías de la CIA se mueven entre bambalinas. Será entonces cuando Julia, empujada por el deseo de libertad y la necesidad de proteger a su familia, tendrá que enfrentarse al régimen que hasta ahora ha dirigido las riendas de su carrera y su futuro.

Arriesgará su vida, sacrificará su libertad, pero nadie podrá arrebatarle el verdadero amor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The author of The Dance of the Puppets, the literary phenomenon that soars in Spain, the United States, and Mexico, returns.

A unique hero. A woman with an exceptional gift. A story of bravery and generosity, of love and betrayal.

Julia Lerner was born in Dresden in 1933 and suffered as a teenager the horrors of the Second World War. Years later, Marxist propaganda turns her into the best pianist and composer in the Soviet Union, showcasing her in the most prestigious stages around the world.

But the music isn't the only virtue that makes Julia a special woman. With a far-superior intelligence, the young pianist creates codes hard to decipher through her melodies and knows how to read lips in several languages. However, her uniqueness makes her a menace when the tensions of the Cold War rise, and informers, KGB agents, and CIA spies move around behind stage. It is then that Julia, pushed by her hope of freedom and the need to protect her family, will have to fight the regime that so far has controlled her career and her future.

She will risk her life, she will sacrifice her freedom, but no one will take away her true love.
