Happy is the man in love who, standing before the sea, listens in admiration to the woman he loves playing the harp on their terrace. The musician is marvelous, the music lovely, the instrument magical—but imposing. Just try to find a car in which such a contraption can fit, an elevator with the right dimensions, or an apartment that will lend itself to the ramblings of an instrument of this size… A harp is big, expensive, and complicated to move, and despite these annoyances that make his everyday life miserable, the harpist’s husband must also come to terms with the visceral attachment that connects his wife to her instrument (she has a whole collection, from the smallest model to the most cumbersome) and that manifests in the most surprising ways at any given moment. It is the eternal love triangle, except this time, the rival has 47 strings and seven pedals… Through funny and poetic scenarios in turn, the narrator, who is none other than the double of Laurent Bénégui, describes with contagious tenderness and an irresistible sense of humor how he met the woman who would become his wife. Bénégui offers both a hilarious novel and his most personal story, a beautiful love letter.
