A love story of epic scope which explores the mental and physical damage that civil war inflicts. Weaves the subjects of sexuality, religion, ethnicity and loss into a dramatic tale which reveals the healing power of music.
Sarajevo 1991. To the home of Adam and Finola VidakovicI comes their new lodger, the internationally-known concert pianist, Daniel Danuczek, who is to teach at the Conservatory. He captivates both Finola and her daughter, Irena, but returns to London as civil war breaks out, holding Sarajevo in its pitiless grip. Soon after, the VidakovicI home will be a ruin and the family dead or missing. Written with compassion and humour, A Place of Springs follows the fortunes and misfortunes of Daniel against a background of music which both expresses and transcends human pain.
