El Amante De Mi Madre/ My Mother's Lover

The story of Carla, a young, beautiful, and wealthy woman who falls for Edwin, a dazzling but penniless composer more interested in his art than in her and who eventually becomes a famous conductor, while Carla languishes in poverty, is told through the eyes of the woman's bitter son, in a novel by a noted Swiss author that captures the history and artistic life of pre-World War II Europe.
