Klappentext 'A devastating portrayal of a woman on the verge of madness . . . His writing is as spare and sharp as ever." Daily Mail The Courage Consort, possibly the seventh best-known a cappella vocal ensemble in Britain, are given two weeks in a Belgian chateau to rehearse their latest commission, the monstrously complicated Partitum Mutante . Their composer is a maniac, the group is full of sexual tension and fiercely differing temperaments - and what of the inhuman voice in the woods? "This novella confirms [Faber] as something of a class act, with admirable economy of style and a good nose for character and social comedy . . . This small work is near-perfectly formed." Sunday Times "Very subtle and completely engaging."
