**An adroit first novel of exceptional grace and emotional power by a legendary British ad executive.**Henry Cage seems to have it all: a successful career, money, a beautiful home, and a reputation for being a just and principled man. He even accepts his forced retire­ment with aplomb, refusing to let his ruthless colleagues see him fall apart. But things begin to unravel. His ex-wife is ill, his relationship with his son is strained to the point of estrangement, and while out and about on his own on the eve of the new millennium, he is the victim of a random act of violence, which soon escalates into a prolonged harassment.As his ex-wife’s illness becomes grave, it is apparent that there is little time to redress the mistakes of the past. But the man stalking Henry remains at large. Who is doing this? And why? David Abbott brilliantly pulls this thread of ten­sion tighter and tighter until the surprising and emotionally impactful conclusion.*The Upright Piano Player* is a wise and acutely observed novel about the myriad ways in which life tests us—no matter how carefully we have constructed our own little fortresses.*From the Hardcover edition.*Wörter : 62889
