Beautiful and powerfully telling story. It a special tribute to the craftmen and musicians who bring us such delight even in the mist of misery and death, that make life that much more precious.

Beautiful little book, it’s only 128 pages long but I think that helps make the book read faster. Another tragic account of that awful time and place. We should never forget there suffering. 5/5

Una historia sencilla y breve que se lee en un suspiro, pero encantadora de todas formas. No había leído nada de Anglada antes, pero desde luego me ha llamado la atención la forma tan musical -en cierto modo, como toda la novela- que tiene de narrar.

Ontroerende novelle. Catalaans voor de wereldleeslijst.

This was a buddy read and I guess I was the one, out of three, that enjoyed it the most, even though I didn't enjoy it very much...
It was a fast reading and an easy one as well, even though it gets quite confusing at times (I don't feel like we can complain about that so much since that's her writing style).
I feel like it teaches us a great lesson: we can find something worth living for even in the darkest of times. That's the one thing I'll take out of it. It didn't appeal to my emotions and, therefore, I think I won't take it with me for years to come.
I'd recommend it for people who like violins and that's why I rated it 3 stars. It's more about violins than it is about the second world war, which was what I was most interested in. I could extract some information related with the second world war but not as much as I would expect on a book that's set in Auschwitz.
