In the sun-drenched and slightly backwater French artists' colony Ville Reele, also known as Realsville, Flow Freely feels like she's teetering on the brink of failure. It's Provence in the 70s, and the very broke, flute-playing, meditating expat needs all the help she can get to land an important assignment translating the journals of a famous composer. So, during one of her stargazing outings-when she realizes she may need to compromise herself sexually to land the job-Flow asks Providence to smile kindly on her. And when Frolic Fandango, a goddess type who arrives on a purple cloud and her shape-shifting sidekick the birdman Geronomo appear, it seems Flow has discovered a hole in time that will change her life. She wants to know who these unusual beings are and why they want to help her. That's when the fun starts as Flow navigates the rocky road of her own transformation from the woman she is to the woman she's capable of becoming.Like the fictional worlds of Rachel Ingalls and Tom Robbins, Ville Reele exists somewhere between clear-cut reality and shimmering possibility. Cosmic Sonata is a modern fairy tale, a romp with a message as timeless as Flow's intergalactic visitors: in any country, at any age, always follow your heart. Less
