Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! A lovely story with many well written subplots all coming together for a delicate statement about relationships, conflict and eventual understanding and love even though there are language and cultural barriers. A statement that people can always find something to bring them together if the right forces are there. In this case it is music and later chess and even games that unites people even though they are not suppose to be united. I will not bother to restate the plot. By now reviews have covered and recovered that. I will just add that you do not need to know anything about opera to appreciate this book. I read this for a book club. I had never heard of this author before, but now I will look for her other books including her newest one which is being highly praised.
