Brooklyn lawyer Liza Durbin has a most unusual problem. Her mind and body have, at least in part, been taken over by the spirit of Franz Schubert, the long-dead Romantic composer. He doesn't like how things went after his Unfinished Symphony came out, and Liza is going to be his unwilling vessel. Much to Liza's consternation, her parents are overjoyed at her possession, and think that they have given birth to a veritable Jesus. A mentor from Juilliard, a determined therapist, and a mysterious elderly fan all want to help. Her vagabond boyfriend, back from Italy, is peeved to find this ghostly third person in their relationship. As the media closes in, Liza must fight to preserve her own identity, both from Franz and from those around her.

Sleeping with Schubert: It seems that the legendary composer Franz Schubert is alive— well, sort of— in the twenty-first century: His soul has taken up residence in the body of Brooklyn lawyer Liza Durbin. Even more astonishing, so has his prodigious gift. A mediocre pianist at best as a child, Liza can suddenly pound out concertos and compose masterly music out of the blue. But how can a brilliant male Austrian composer from the nineteenth century coexist in the everyday life of a modern American woman And how can Liza explain what’ s happened to her without everyone thinking she’ s gone off the deep end Fortunately, the evidence is tangible, and Liza is soon brought into the esteemed halls of Juilliard under the tutelage of the revered— and feared— Greta Pretsky, a humorless woman whose only interest in Liza is her channeling of Schubert. Greta’ s greedy for her next big star, and the entire New York City press is whispering of Liza’ s brilliance as the public awaits her debut at Carnegie Hall. Even Liza’ s boyfriend, Patrick, seems more in love with her than ever. Yet as Liza yields to Franz’ s great passion, her own life and identity threaten to elude her. Why was she chosen as the vessel for this musical genius— and when, if ever, will he leave Their entwined souls follow a path of ecstasy, peril, and surprise as they search for the final, liberating truth. A strikingly original novel, Sleeping with Schubert plays on years of speculation regarding Franz Schubert’ s “ Unfinished Symphony.” Bonnie Marson’ s extraordinary imagination supposes that Schubert cannot truly die until the mystery is solved— even if it means being resurrected in the body of a deceptively ordinary woman. Filled with drama and humor, this irresistible novel explores love, genius, and identity in ways that will engage and amaze readers. From the Hardcover edition. Englisch, Ebook.
