![]() ![]() Henry, a talented bass player, is poised to graduate from the tony private school he attends on scholarship with his best friend, Ethan, whose family took him in upon his father’s suicide. Flora sings in-and actually owns part of-the family’s nightclub, but her heart is in the skies, where she flies a borrowed biplane and dreams of owning her own. In February 1920, Love and Death choose their newest pawns as infants: Love’s is Henry, a white boy of privilege (though influenza and grief rob him of much of it) Death’s is Flora, the soon-to-be-orphaned daughter of African-American jazz musicians. A lovingly realized Depression-era Seattle becomes the field of play for the latest round in the titular, age-old game. ![]()
