A Woman with a past, a Boy with a future. Alice Devereux, once a beautiful young woman, the world at her feet, is now elderly. In the London of the Swinging Sixties, she meets a boy busking on a penny whistle. His unschooled talent and unexplained liking for a particular work of Claude Debussy take Alice back to her youth, where she once met the French composer, an encounter that deeply affected her life. Alice guides the boy into a world of theatre, amongst people and places previously unimagined by him. His startling talent reveals new worlds - not least the one that is his true self.
