The plot is fairly uncomplicated, with the narrator Renne Sundheimer being a ‘has been’ child prodigy who had the music world at his feet. Neatly organised and sincerely written, one should breeze through this novel in a day or two, easily. Reading it was no problem, since Salzman’s style uses the simplicity of language and plot to engage the reader. I picked it up initially only because it was a novel about a cellist (which is even rarer to find really), and not because I’d known it was a good read, that I must admit.
It is rare that we find a good novel concerning classical music, one that actually speaks a very important message. Also available in hardcover: Transaction Publishers ISBN 6-0 (Feb 2001)
