Bog beskrivelse

Set in Jewish London in the 1930s, Susan Glickman''s The Violin Lover is written against the backdrop of Hitler''s escalating campaign against the Jews. This beautifully written novel tells the story of Clara Weiss and Ned Abraham, "the violin lover," brought together by Clara''s 11-year-old son, Jacob. A successful doctor and amateur violinist, Ned is pressured to practice a duet with Jacob by the boy''s piano teacher. Though reluctant at first, Ned is charmed by the young prodigy and surprised by Jacob''s dedication and passion for music. In him Ned sees his younger self, so young and full of promise. A friendship is soon built on a mutual love for music. A dinner invitation to spend Passover with the Weiss family seals Ned''s fate and a clandestine love affair begins. Although they both agree that no one must ever know — especially not Clara''s family — their affair inevitably comes to a crashing end, with disastrous, life-altering consequences.

Unfolding like a melody, The Violin Lover is infused with music and told in three voices. It is a powerful novel about the love one feels for family, friends, culture, faith and music, and the passion that comes with it — regardless of the outcome.
