Discover this exquisitely told story of adventure and enlightenment from the bestselling author of North Woods, Daniel Mason.

White. Like a clean piece of paper, like uncarved ivory, all is white when the story begins.

London, 1886. One misty afternoon, piano tuner Edgar Drake receives an unusual request from the War Office: he must leave his quiet life and travel to the jungles of Burma to repair a rare grand piano owned by an enigmatic army surgeon.

So begins an extraordinary journey across Europe, the Red Sea, India and onwards, accompanied by an enchanting yet elusive woman. Edgar is at first captivated, then unnerved, as he begins to question the true motive behind his summons and whether he will return home unchanged to the wife who awaits him . . .
