| Summary: | The Chord of Longing explores a musical scholar's search for meaning, love, and acceptance through decades as a single mother, a Marxist, a musician, and finally, a member of a monastic community. In frank and honest language, Mother Felicitas explains how that long search led her through extraordinary pain and difficulty, profound questioning, and finally toward everlasting and perfect love. The title is based on a chord of yearning--the famous chord that begins Wagner's opera, Tristan and Isolde. Writes the author: "This chord's dissonance, this tension, demands to be resolved." It is the perfect metaphor to describe her own quest for resolution, beautifully described in this personal tale of tribulation and transcendence. -- from publisher's description |
