Itty bitty book review "The Violin Lover"

"The Violin Lover" by Susan Glickman



Susan Glickman has published quite a lot of poetry and it certainly shows in this novel...very beautiful language in parts.  I read it as I was also re-reading Half Blood Blues for our bookclub  coming up.  Interesting because it takes place in the 30's in England and the protagonists are Jews very much into the classical music scene.  A rather interesting contrast to the Blacks into jazz in France but both facing prejudice and the problems of the time.
