Buy this book at Amazon or for Kindle
Set during the Holocaust, Violin is a haunting and lyrical exploration of love, loss, and survival. This is Chava’s story—a young Jewish girl whose innocence is shattered by the rise of the Nazi regime.
At first, it is only a trembling—a high, fragile note quivering in the dark like a moth against a windowpane. Then it deepens. The bow draws across the strings like a blade across the soul, and suddenly, the melody is no longer outside the listener. It is inside.
It begins with the soft innocence of childhood, where music is the heartbeat of her home, and follows her through the fragile beauty of youth, the terror of war, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit.
As the Nazi regime tightens its grip, Chava’s world begins to fracture. The sounds of war infiltrate her home—the shrieking of sirens, the pounding of boots on cobblestones, the whispered conversations that vanish the moment she enters the room. The violin, once a symbol of peace, now weeps in a world turned upside down, playing the soundtrack of a broken world.
