Awesome review!
As a person devoted to classical music, this sounds like it is right up my street, Karen - lovely review!
Thanks so much Karen, I'm delighted you enjoyed the story! Looking forward to sending more books your way in the years to come.
Karen, wonderful review! This sounds like an excellent historical fiction book to add to my reading list. Thanks for sharing it. 🤗💜
Karen...When I started to read your review I thought, same old, the story of a cello that passed from hand to hand over time. What a surprise revelation..."the artistry of the instruments and physical settings of this historical mystery (brought) vividly to life... integration of the real Guarneri family adds another layer of authenticity to the fiction." Wow! A magnificent review!
This sounds fascinating! I love the mix of mystery, history, and the story behind the instrument. The dual timeline and the question of whether the cello is authentic definitely make this one sound intriguing. Great review! 📚✨
Karen, I love books that leave you sitting with questions like this, because I’m not sure the truth is always automatically liberating. Sometimes it gives people a way forward, but sometimes it tears apart everything they built just to survive what happened. That tension between knowing and being able to live with what you know is really interesting to me. Lovely review!
Lovely review and timely as we had an old violin we just gave to someone. It was my husband’s uncle, and we had such a good time reminiscing with the new owner the joy that it had bought to family celebrations over the years. I’ll add to my list and mention to the new owner.
