SLEEPLESS CANDLE

by Anne Paterson ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 17, 1941

This is a more sturm and drang tale than one associates with either this publisher or this author (Take These Hands was a light medical story). An emotional and detailed portrait of a genius, a cellist, brilliant, dynamic, but blinded by his egotism to his dependence on his wife and his best friend. The realization that he is becoming tone deaf results in a breakdown, and he turns against them both, leaving them to find out their love for each other. Restless, tortured, he writes a symphony, he seeks another woman for casual release -- and eventually submits to the operation which restores his hearing, only to find he has lost his wife.
