Publisher's Synopsis
In the tradition of 'Captain Corelli's Mandolin' and 'Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet', 'A White Wind Blew' is an enthralling story set in the era of prohibition and the aftermath of World War I. Wolfgang Pike, a doctor and almost-priest at the Waverly Hills tuberculosis sanatorium during a time when medicine and faith are failing the patients, thinks that music might offer some unlikely help. But his boss's disapproval, racial tensions ratcheting ever higher, and the memory of his wife tear at Wolfgang daily, until an enigmatic new patient opens up. Together with Wolf, the two help the most unlikely of orchestras emerge to change everything.
