The Butterfly and the Violin by Kristy Cambron
4.0
I’m not sure why I’m only now picking up a novel by @kristycambron, but I’m glad I finally did. This book, a duel timeline between present day America and 1940’s Europe, is heavy with the horrors of the Holocaust but full of hope in the way of faith and art.
It felt relevant, the reminder that when days are dark there is always Light somewhere. This is a story about Adele, a talented concert violinist that ends up at Auschwitz, and the prisoners she befriends at the camp who use music and art to give them hope and a respite from the absolute terror that consumes their days.
In present-day America, Sera searches for a painting she first saw as a child of a beautiful woman playing the violin. Her search reveals a story of love, hope and the beauty of Creation that God has instilled in us all.

4/5 ⭐️ - I really liked it.
