The Time Of the Chord

The Time of a Chord

Élodie, 22 years old, is a young woman full of dreams but also uncertainties. An architecture student in Marseille, she left her hometown in Seine-et-Marne to pursue her studies, far from her family and childhood memories. But every year, at Christmas, she returns to this small village, a peaceful place that seems frozen in time.

This year, her return takes an unexpected turn. Not only does she reunite with her best friend, Maxime, but she also crosses paths with Léna, a former high school classmate who has become a piano maker. Léna, with her captivating energy and timeless spontaneity, reignites a passion in Élodie that she had long buried: music. And more specifically, the piano.

In the heart of this festive season, an event will change their lives: a prestigious piano competition in Paris, which Léna dreams of participating in with the piano she has crafted herself. But for Léna, there's one last piece missing from the puzzle: a pianist capable of making the piano resonate to match her vision. And it's to Élodie, the one who has put music aside, that she turns.

In this icy winter, at the heart of her village, Élodie will come to understand that the true chord in life is the one that resonates between her dreams, her past, and her emotions. But it's also the chord that connects her and Léna... Two women, two souls, ready to lose themselves and find each other again in the sound of an enchanting melody.

The Time of a Chord is a story of love, music, and discovery. A novel that warms the heart, where every note played and every moment shared echoes a happiness they never expected.
