- Maria Àngels Anglada was born in Vic, near Barcelona, Spain, to a Catalan family passionate about music. She graduated from the University of Barcelona and began working as a professor of Classics. She translated texts from Latin and Greek to the Catalan language, and in 1972 started publishing her own novels, poetry, essays, and literary criticism in Catalan. She achieved fame with her first novel Les Closes (1978), which was awarded the Josep Pla Prize. She made several trips to Italy and Greece, including to the island of Mytilene, which were a source of inspiration for her writings, which roamed through the places and themes of the ancient world.

From the book jacket: In the winter of 1991, at a concert in Krakow, an older woman with a marvelously pitched violin meets a fellow musician who is instantly captivated by her instrument. When he asks her how she obtained it, she reveals the remarkable story behind its origin…
My Reactions
I really wanted to like this book … no … I wanted to love this book. But it missed the mark for me. I think that is because it felt unfinished.
The basic story line is engaging and what kept me reading, but there were huge gaps that left me hungry for more detail. Anglada began with a date in 1991, so we know where we are at when the violin first makes an appearance. And the next chapter begins Daniel’s story (the luthier who crafted the violin) as he struggles to survive in the concentration camp. In bits and pieces we learn of the conditions, the sadistic doctor, the capricious whims of the commandant, the deprivations, the dreams and nightmares, and the fragile friendships formed. But suddenly Daniel is crafting a violin and we don’t know why. Or how he got the tools and materials. I actually went back to the previous chapter and re-read, thinking I must have dozed off and accidently skipped ahead. But I hadn’t.
Eventually we are able to piece together the story, but not until there are a few more abrupt changes in time frame that not only were disorienting, but made me feel that parts of the story were left out. In summary, while the storyline played the reader’s heartstrings like a violin virtuoso, I felt that the book was unfinished.… (plus d'informations)
