Written against the backdrop of Hitler's escalating cam-paign against the Jews, The Violin Lover tells the story of a secret love affair and its disastrous consequences. Ned Abraham, a successful doctor and amateur violinist, meets Clara Weiss and her son, Jacob. Persuaded to play a Mozart sonata with the gifted 11-year-old pianist, Ned gains Jacob's confidence and affection. At the same time, he begins a clandestine affair with the boy's mother and unexpectedly becomes a rival for her son's attention. Infused with music, The Violin Lover is a moving story in three voices. Delicately evoking the sensations of perform-ing and listening to music, Susan Glickman accomplishes the rare feat of recreating the experience of one art form in another.
