The Butterfly and the Violin by Kristy Cambron
4.0
What an amazing story! As a violinist, art appreciator, and lover of history, this book was perfect for me. However, while the story was incredible, there were a few things I didn't love.
The writing: It wasn't bad, per se, but it just seemed maybe a little fake to me. I think that the style didn't fit the plot very well. I loved a lot of the descriptions, but I would have enjoyed it more with a different style.
The ending: I thought the ending was a bit unrealistic. Too Hallmark perfect. The holocaust is not a Hallmark movie people! I mean, there were a couple sad things that were never resolved, but too much of it was tied up in a perfect little package with a bow.
Also, I wish that we had gotten to see more of Vladimir. Honestly, I was a little, somewhat, a lot, in love with him too! He's a CELLIST, who rescues Jews!
Even so, The Butterfly and the Violin is highly recommended by me!
