The Violin Lover

"Between the wars, London Jews recognize Hitler's escalating hatred abroad and suffer attacks by the Blackshirts at home. Against this backdrop, The Violin Lover tells the story of a secret love affair and its disastrous effects." "Ned Abraham is "the violin lover." A successful doctor and an accomplished musician, he meets Clara Weiss and her son Jacob, a gifted 11-year-old pianist, at a Guildhall Christmas concert. Persuaded to play a Mozart sonata with the boy, Ned gains Jacob's confidence and admiration. At the same time, he begins a clandestine affair with Clara. When Clara recognizes that she and her lover have become rivals for her son's affection, the consequences are harrowing."--BOOK JACKET.
