I typically review books that could be eligible for the Maine Student Book Award, but there are times when I really want to read an adult novel.
This book was set during World War II. Adele was an adored violinist whose father was a wealthy Nazi leader. However when Adele fell in love with Vladimir, a poor cellist, and became involved in his attempt to rescue Jews her father did not protect her from being sent to Aushwitz.
This historical story is interspersed with a modern day search for a painting of Adele, a family inheritance, the struggle to find love again, and the quest to find out what happened to Adele and Vladimir.
Truth be told I liked the historical aspect of the story and got bogged down by the modern day aspect, especially the romance but overall I enjoyed the book.
