An absolutely beautiful novel

What a beautiful novel. I don’t normally cry, but this story was so heartbreaking; you’ll just have to read it for yourself. I’m no musician, but music is the heart and soul of this novel, and important to understanding the motivations of the main characters. The passion of music, the discipline, the creativity and craftsmanship required to be really good at what you do, was mirrored in the writing. Needless to say at this point; I loved this book. The narrator of the story is a young, emotionally wounded musician and violin artisan, who has unfortunately fallen in love with a man who has proven himself to be incapable of monogamy. He does, I believe, really love her, but his passion has no boundaries and in the end she has to choose, and she does. I’ve never read anything else by this author, but I will seek her out. Such a powerful novel. If you are a passionate soul, it will not disappoint.
