December, 1989. While Margaret is visiting her sister and her husband at Blackheath Vicarage for a family Christmas, she finds the diary she kept during a school exchange visit to Germany in the summer of 1954. Painful memories from that time come flooding back when she hears a Brahms rhapsody being played on the piano by Jonathan, a consultant at the local hospital. At the age of 17, she believed she had found the love of her life when a young pianist, Peter, kissed her and quoted poetry to her. But the traumatic events that followed changed her life forever. Now, 35 years later, emotional feelings she thought she had suppressed for ever are once again awoken as she begins to fall in love with Jonathan. As the family gathers to celebrate Christmas and the New Year, it appears that her sister’ While Margaret’ “The photographs I took and the diary I kept during a school exchange visit to Germany provided me with the primary source for the part of the story set in 1954. Whenever I have heard Brahms’ Rosemary Allen has been writing on and off all her life. In addition to Listening to Brahms, she has written about a dozen short stories. Music features in much of her writing and has always played a large part in her life, both as listener and participant.
