If Time Were Not a Moving Thing

Set in the glamorous world of opera, the book charts the tempestuous and passionate relationship between the world-famous soprano, Marie Nyman, and Arabella Cooper, a young pianist and aspiring conductor. Marie is married and deeply in the closet, Arabella out and proud. Can Marie overcome her fears and acknowledge the love of her life, as Arabella’s career takes off? Two beautiful women battle their demons in locations as diverse as New York, London, Vienna, and Munich.
