About The Book
Maya is living her dream in Vienna. First violinist with the prestigious Habsburg Philharmonic, her days are filled with music, her nights with wild parties and passionate, no-strings-attached sex with her colleague, star cellist Lucia Rizzo.
But when Josh – the ex-love of Maya’s life – unexpectedly shows up at her door, the perfect world she’s built begins to unravel.
Set over a blisteringly hot weekend in a city where ghosts lurk in every alleyway, Since the World is Ending explores the sacrifices we make and the risks we take when we pour life into our art.
A novel about music, consequence, desire and the importance of love and art in a world on fire by a daring and uniquely compelling young novelist.
