A Haunting and Poetic Love Story That Lingers
Nicole Conn has long been known for her fearless storytelling, and Descending Thirds is no exception. This novel is a haunting, intimate exploration of love, loss, longing, and ultimately, rediscovery.
The story follows two women—one a concert pianist, the other a filmmaker—whose lives intertwine in a deeply emotional and, at times, painfully raw relationship. Conn writes with poetic precision, offering a lens into the vulnerability and complexity of deeply human emotions. Her characters are beautifully flawed, and their journey together is one that will linger in your heart long after the final page.
What makes Descending Thirds so powerful is Conn’s refusal to offer easy resolutions. She leans into the dissonance of relationships—how people crash together, pull apart, and sometimes find their way back, not as the people they were, but as something new. The novel is both sensual and cerebral, a symphony of emotional chords that refuse to be ignored.
This isn’t a light read—but it is an unforgettable one. If you’ve ever loved too deeply, lost too much, or longed for healing, Descending Thirds will speak to you.
