Song of Sorrow (The Love and War Series, Band 7) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

One violin. One curse. One hundred years of tragedy.

Germany, 1871. Master craftsman Leopold Vogel creates a violin of breathtaking beauty, destined to secure his family’s future. But when his wife, Katharina, is deceived by a powerful businessman and their dreams are shattered, her grief turns to rage.

Consumed by rage and grief, she curses the instrument.

From that day on, anyone who plays the violin is doomed to die young.

And so begins the haunting journey of a single violin through a century of human suffering.

Across eight interconnected lives, the cursed instrument passes from hand to hand, cutting its way through the defining horrors of the twentieth century — the trenches of the First World War, the rise of Nazism, the terror of the Holocaust, the devastation of the Second World War, and the shadow of the Berlin Wall.

Each new owner is drawn to the violin’s soaring, irresistible music — and each pays a terrible price.

Unrequited love. Friendships betrayed. Families torn apart. Secrets that destroy. As fortune rises and falls in a relentless refrain, one question echoes through the decades:

Can beauty and music survive when fate itself is bent on destruction?

A deeply moving and unforgettable novel of loss, love, and the enduring power of music in the darkest of times.


Historical fiction with heart and drama.

Part of The Love and War Series, ten novels set during the 20th century's darkest years. Can be read in any order.
