As Lucy delves deeper into the distant past, the signs point towards one person: Frederic Chopin. Could the dashing, handsome young man Marie writes of so fondly really be the musical genius who inspired generations of artists after him? If so, does that somehow relate to Marie's premature demise? What happened to her in Paris that changed her life so drastically?
