The Tide Knot by Helen Dunmore

Im oberbayerischen Bergkirchen findet das allj hrliche Volksmusikantentreffen statt. Zum ersten Mal dabei sind mit ihren Hackbrettern die beiden Freundinnen Barbara und Friederike. Urpl tzlich taucht auch ihre Mitsch lerin Alexandra-Luca als Teilnehmerin auf. Der beim Konzert anwesende TV-Moderator Michael Marconi wittert Stoff f r eine Show und k ndigt vor laufender Kamera einen Hackbrettwettbewerb im Herbst an. Die Siegerin soll das weltber hmte Ensemble Sait'nzupfer auf deren Australientournee begleiten d rfen. Star der Sait'nzupfer und Schwarm aller M dchen ist der Harfenist Peter, der sich zu Barbara hingezogen f hlt. Da Alexandra-Luca beim Wettbewerb weder gegen die Favoritin Barbara noch gegen Friederike eine Chance hat, f delt ihr Vater eine gemeine Intrige ein, um Barbara auszuschalten. Alexandra-Luca ihrerseits versucht, Barbara und Peter auseinanderzubringen. Und dann taucht auch noch eine attraktive dunkelhaarige Frau an Peters Seite auf. H lt die Freundschaft zwischen Barbara und Friederike, die pl tzlich Konkurrentinnen sind, dem Druck stand? Wird Barbaras und Peters beginnende Liebe den Intrigen widerstehen? Ein Roman um Musik und die erste gro e Liebe.
