黑膠音樂行老闆與謎樣女子的一場邂逅,讓那段他想遺忘的過去,從記憶深處慢慢清晰起來……這是一本關於傾聽與感受,關於選擇勇敢的小說,而且到最後,音樂可以拯救所有人。
1988年,CD已經問世,這個閃亮的小磁盤在全國各地的街道上銷售火熱。此時,在一條死巷裡,佛蘭克小小卻明亮的音樂行裡也充滿了各式各樣的音樂,只不過他賣的是黑膠唱片,但不管是孤獨、失眠或是漂流的人,在這裡都可以找到專屬自己的音樂,因為佛蘭克就像醫生一樣,用音樂,治癒每個來向他求診的人。
某天,伊爾絲走進佛蘭克的生命裡,她要求佛蘭克教她什麼是音樂。一開始佛蘭克想逃避,但旋即,他被這個神秘的女人所吸引,她總是穿著綠色的外套,眼睛就像黑膠唱片一樣的黑。
他倆之間開始有了某種連繫,大家都看得出來,他們彼此吸引,佛蘭克總是試著幫助別人,但是他自己呢?他塵封的舊傷口似乎就要裂開,想忘掉的過去,彷彿又開始追著他而來……。(文/博客來編譯)
Frank has a gift for finding his customers the music they need to hear. When he meets Ilsa Brauchmann, a mysterious and beautiful woman with no ear for music, and engaged to another man, he falls in love. She is way above him, she will never be his, but he will take her on a journey through music.
Twelve years later Ilsa returns to find Frank. The shop has gone; no one knows where he is; perhaps he’s dead. All that remains is a series of clues, each one related to music. Ilsa resolves to follow them and bring Frank back to life with music, just as he once did for her.
