 >For three years\, Song Yan has filled the emptiness of her Beijing apartm
 ent with the tentative notes of her young piano students. With her marriag
 e\, she gave up on her own career as a concert pianist\, but her husband B
 owen has long rebuffed her desire to have a child.</p>\n<p>Instead\, she m
 ust accommodate her mother-in-law\, newly arrived from the province of Yun
 nan and bringing with her long-buried family secrets. Soon strange parcels
  start to show up on the doorstep and Song Yan's dreams become troubling a
 nd claustrophobic. Striking out alone through the winter city\, she finds 
 herself pulled into the ancient hutongs to confront the source of her unea
 se.</p>\n<p>In a silent room within a timeless house\, can she find the no
 tes she needs to make sense of all the pain and beauty in her life? (From
