Manhattan art dealer Sera James watched her world crumble at the altar two years ago, and her heart is still fragile. Her desire for distraction reignites a passion for a mysterious portrait she first saw as a young girl–a painting of a young violinist with piercing blue eyes.
In her search for the painting, Sera crosses paths with William Hanover–the grandson of a wealthy California real estate mogul–who may be the key to uncovering the hidden masterpiece. Together Sera and William slowly unravel the story behind the painting’s subject: Austrian violinist Adele Von Bron.
A darling of the Austrian aristocracy of 1942, talented violinist, and daughter to a high-ranking member of the Third Reich, Adele risks everything when she begins smuggling Jews out of Vienna. In a heartbeat, her life of prosperity and privilege dissolves into a world of starvation and barbed wire.
As Sera untangles the secrets behind the painting, she finds beauty in the most unlikely of places: the grim camps of Auschwitz and the inner recesses of her own troubled heart.
Thoughts:
“A mysterious painting breathes hope and beauty into the darkest corners of Auschwitz–and the loneliest hearts of Manhattan.”
I absolutely loved The Butterfly and the Violin! It captivated me from the very first page and I was unable to put it down until the last page had been turned. Kristy Cambron has woven two beautiful stories, one present day and one historical, together to create a literary masterpiece.
Beautifully written with excellent characterization and vivid, historical details, The Butterfly and the Violin is a poignant story that stirred my emotions. Its characters and spiritual messages won’t soon be forgotten! I highly recommend this book for fans of historical fiction, especially World War II era fiction!
Tomorrow, I will be sharing my thoughts about A Sparrow in Terezin, the sequel to this spectacular novel. I loved A Sparrow in Terezin and highly recommend it as well. However, The Butterfly and the Violin remains my favorite of the two stories.
I loved this book so much that I want to gift a Kindle copy to one lucky reader! To enter, please leave a comment below and be sure to include your email address. This giveaway ends Tuesday, April 21 at 11:59 p.m. CDT. The winner will be drawn and announced on Wednesday, April 22.
