In Paris in 1944 Niccolo Carini, the greatest operatic tenor of his age, begins to lose his voice after receiving a miraculous automaton from Madame Flora, the greatest maker of mechanical devices of her age. And in 2013 in New York, a failing opera singer named Larry Schiavo watches while his twin brother Joe develops extraordinary singing abilities. In this new supernatural thriller, author Barry Lenson explores the artistic connections that can sometimes resonate between voice and voice, and age and age, through the corridors of time. Distant Voices is the first novel in the Distant Voices trilogy.
