Rachel and her family are Jews living in Krakow right before the Nazi invasion of Poland. Rachel, a gifted violinist, is protected by a powerful benefactor, one who makes sure that she survives the war.

This book started out strong. I was instantly interested in the family, music and their lives. However, after about halfway through, it almost seemed as if the author lost focus. In the second half, the book has no natural progression and the scenes are stilted and unnatural. The author also continually foreshadows what will happen next, which I find super irritating. I’d rather just read it happening. I think this could be a great book with some re-writing or editing.… (plus d'informations)

This book was set at a difficult time but was written so the trauma did not much affect this reader as the main protagonist seemed guarded by an angel. This protection from the horrors of the time left characters slightly underdeveloped but made for comfortable reading. The beginning set the scene for the rest of the book to build up to chronologically - another device making this a comfortable read.

This is basically a love story. Love stories are not my genre of choice, however, this book was so much more than that. It is a love story that survives the horrors of the holocaust. It brings home to us the fact that there were good people, living in Germany at that time, who did not worship Herr Hitler.
