This ';affecting novel filled with sorrow and a tender, poignant optimism' (USA TODAY) from New York Times bestselling author Vaddey Ratner reveals ';the endless ways that families can be forged and broken hearts held' (Chicago Tribune) as a young woman begins an odyssey to discover the truth about her missing father.Leaving the safety of America, Teera returns to Cambodia for the first time since her harrowing escape as a child refugee. She carries a letter from a man who mysteriously signs himself as ';the Old Musician' and claims to have known her father in the Khmer Rouge prison where he disappeared twenty-five years ago. In Phnom Penh, Teera finds a society still in turmoil, where perpetrators and survivors of unfathomable violence live side by side, striving to mend their still beloved country. She meets a young doctor who begins to open her heart, confronts her long-buried memories, and prepares to learn her father's fate. Meanwhile, the Old Musician, who earns his modest keep playing ceremonial music at a temple, awaits Teera's visit. He will have to confess the bonds he shared with her parents, the passion with which they all embraced the Khmer Rouge's illusory promise of a democratic society, and the truth about her father's end. A love story for things lost and restored, a lyrical hymn to the power of forgiveness, Music of the Ghosts is a ';sensitive portrait of the inheritance of survival' (USA TODAY) and a journey through the embattled geography of the heart where love can be reborn.
