For three years Song Yan has filled her Beijing apartment with the tentative notes of her young piano students.
She finds herself adrift, but her husband seems reluctant for a child of their own. It takes the arrival of her mother-in-law, together with sudden strange parcels and stranger dreams, to shake Song Yan from her malaise. Summoned to an ancient house in the heart of the city, can she find the notes she needs to make sense of the pain and beauty in her life?
‘There’s something here of early Murakami’s graceful, open-ended approach to the uncanny… Ghost Music is an evocative exploration of what it means to live fully’ New York Times Book Review

When Song Yan’s mother-in-law moves into the apartment she shares with her new husband Bowen, their carefully calibrated life is overturned. Family secrets are uncovered – a disappeared sister, a former wife; family plans are put on hold – can they possibly try for a child in these circumstances? Trapped and disorientated, Song Yan begins to question whether she knows anything at all about the man she chose to marry. He, in turn, withdraws from her completely. When mysterious parcels of mushrooms begin to arrive on the doorstep, purporting to arrive from a virtuoso pianist, Bai Yu, whom everyone had believed to be dead, Song Yan seizes on the invitation to track him down.
