Synopsis

“The time has come, I think, not to lie any more.” This beautiful recording features solo performances by various classical musicians. When cub reporter Lesley is sent to Venice to interview a world-renowned violinist, the journalist is told she can ask Paolo Levi anything about his life and career as a musician, but on no account must she ask him the Mozart question; never the Mozart question. Paolo, however, has realised he must finally reveal the truth.

Goodreads review by EAK

This would be a great extended picture book to use during a Holocaust unit for middle schoolers or older. A beautiful story of family, secrets, and hope.......more

Goodreads review by Neil

Really nice story, told in a calm, laid-back style accompanied by evocative watercolor illustrations. It only hints at the bigger issues regarding concentration camps, but it brings up a number of unique questions about memory, emotions, and musical communication.......more

Goodreads review by Becky

Unbelievably beautiful, moving story. It will take fifteen minutes to read-you'll remember it for the rest of your life. I don't want to give anything away, but I cried through the entire story. So touching.......more
