Books like Puccini's Ghosts by Morag Joss
Morag Joss explores the fragile dynamics of a family in a culture‑deprived Scottish coastal town in 1960. Lila, the youngest of her parents’ embittered household, has no knowledge of opera, but her life is upturned when her flamboyant uncle George arrives from London to fund an extravagant civic production of Turandot. The casting of a charismatic young singer as Calaf, and the ensuing passion and intrigue, force Lila—and the family—to confront suppressed desires, hidden secrets, and the repercussions of their choices. Joss weaves psychological suspense with an intimate look at the cost of ambition and the fragile separation between performance and reality.
