About
"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.
