Description:

*Night Music* is a novel by Jojo Moyes, first published in 2008. The story revolves around two central characters, Isabel Delancey and Matt McCarthy, and the challenges they face in the wake of a crumbling house that serves as a focal point for their lives.

Isabel Delancey, a widowed violinist, finds herself struggling after the sudden death of her husband. Inheriting a dilapidated mansion in the English countryside, she decides to move there with her two children, hoping for a fresh start. However, the house is in severe disrepair, and Isabel has neither the money nor the skills to restore it.

Matt McCarthy, a local builder, is deeply resentful that Isabel has inherited the house he covets. His initial intention to help Isabel with the renovations quickly turns into a more sinister plot as he becomes more desperate to acquire the property for himself.

The novel explores themes of grief, resilience, and the complexities of human relationships. It combines elements of romance, drama, and suspense, as Isabel navigates her new life and the challenges that come with it. Jojo Moyes is known for her emotionally rich storytelling, and *Night Music* is no exception, offering readers a compelling narrative about the ways in which music, love, and loss intertwine in the characters’ lives.

If you enjoy stories about personal transformation and the impact of the past on the present, *Night Music* might be a great read for you.
