Description
William Fiennes spent his childhood in a moated castle, the perfect environment for a child with a brimming imagination.
It is a house alive with history, beauty, and mystery, but the young boy growing up in it is equally in awe of his brother Richard.
Eleven years older and a magnetic presence, Richard suffers from severe epilepsy.
His illness influences the rhythms of the family and the house's internal life, and his story inspires a journey, interwoven with a loving recollection, toward an understanding of the mind. This is a song of home, of an adored brother and the miracle of consciousness.
The chill of dark historical places coexists with the warmth and chatter of the family kitchen; the surrounding landscapes are distinguished by ancient trees, secret haunts, the moat’s depths and temptations.
Bursting with tender detail, The Music Room is a sensuous tribute to place, memory, and the permanence of love.
