This is not one of the books I was looking forward to reading. Figured it wouldn't carry a lot of plot since it was so short. Sure glad I had a half hour to kill while waiting to leave on the field trip, because the story was great. I was very disappointed to read after the author note that is fictitious, as I truly wanted to believe it was a true story.
A young journalists gets the opportunity to interview Paolo Levi ( a famous violinist). The only requirement is that she can not ask the Mozart Question. No problem...maybe... She has no clue what the Mozart question is. The real story though is the story that Paolo tells her about how he first started to play the violin. It's a very heart warming story about Paolo's family secret and what they go through to survive through World War II.
Have a dictionary handy... For a short book, there are a lot new vocabulary.
Have you read it? What do you think?
