The crowd dreams of love

A comic meditation on individual and social love, it is the story of a reclusive composer in a major modern city. Three women draw him into the life of his times: Marie, an immigrant waittress with connections in the murky Underground; his student the beautiful pianist Eva; and his ex-lover Caroline, now one of the most famous movie stars in the world--as famous for her political opinions as for her movie roles. --Amazon.com
