I read this book years ago, before I started playing the violin. Now that I’ve been playing for 5 years, I’m sure I’ll be able to appreciate it better. There are beautiful passages about music and violin playing in this novel. Anne Rice wanted to be a violin virtuoso when she was a child, and this desire really shows in her prose. Her descriptions of the violinist playing in the story are dark and passionate.
Look for my review coming soon!
