A professional pianist searches for her sister, who disappeared when their parents died, aided by her childhood-care records and a single song that continues to haunt her ... the exquisite new novel from the author of This Is How We Are Human
'Utterly beautiful ... I couldn't put it down' Iona Gray
'Louise Beech has a rare talent ... she doesn't just move the reader, she breaks their heart and mends it again' Fiona Cummins
'The best one yet ... I'm still in tears of heartbreak and joy' S E Lynes
'Like the notes of a nocturne, Nothing Else will leave you profoundly touched by its beauty' Nydia Hetherington
---------------------------
Heather Harris is a piano teacher and professional musician, whose quiet life revolves around music, whose memories centre on a single song that haunts her. A song she longs to perform again. A song she wrote as a child, to drown out the violence in their home. A song she played with her little sister, Harriet.
But Harriet is gone ... she disappeared when their parents died, and Heather never saw her again.
When Heather is offered an opportunity to play piano on a cruise ship, she leaps at the chance. She'll read her recently released childhood care records by day - searching for clues to her sister's disappearance - and play piano by night ... coming to terms with the truth about a past she's done everything to forget.
An exquisitely moving novel about surviving devastating trauma, about the unbreakable bond between sisters, Nothing Else is also a story of courage and love, and the power of music to transcend - and change - everything.
