Maria Jameson, a university professor, is married, has two children, and a lover younger than herself, to whom she is bound by an intense passion. Between the complicated and demanding double life she leads and the uncertainty of being left alone, Maria finds guidance and support in reading the novels of George Sand, the famous 19th-century author about whom she is writing a book. The study of the writer's texts and autobiography, visiting the places she loved and frequented, and in particular the discovery of her numerous and intense romantic relationships, draw Maria into a revolutionary and nonconformist female universe. And it is above all in George Sand's tormented relationship with Frédéric Chopin that Maria finds answers to the questions that haunt her about love, fidelity, men, art, and life. Until the conclusion of her book, when Maria will reconcile with herself, rediscovering the beauty of the simplicity and everyday nature of love. Set between Edinburgh, Palma de Mallorca, and France, through the delicate intertwining of the voices of Maria and George Sand, Chopin's Lover describes the journey of two women who, although far apart in time, share the feeling of passion and the search for perfect love. Two stories of loss and self-discovery that, like an elegant game of mirrors, reflect one another.
