   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) Sassyjd32 | Dec 22, 2023 |  The story of Adele is powerfully written, and really captures one's heart. Her story also gave me a new perspective of the war, and the concentration camps. Be prepared with a box of tissues when you read this book! If you enjoy history, art or music history, World War II history, you will enjoy this book. (  ) WendyKA | Jul 12, 2020 | Much emphasis, as you can see, is placed on the impact of art. Beauty is more pronounced when surrounded by death, disease, torture, and all the horrors of a Nazi concentration camp.

I will definitely be checking out the next book in the series, as I am curious how Sera and William's story will play out, and if I will like it any better than this one. Recommended for ages 15 for romance, (kissing, hugging, etc), and semi-mild violencecrudity relating to WW2 and the Auschwitz concentration camp.

HTML: Based on the real orchestra composed of prisoners at Auschwitz, The Butterfly and the Violin shows how beauty and hope can penetrate even the darkest corners. Present day: Manhattan art dealer Sera James watched her world crumble at the altar two years ago, and her heart is still fragile. Her desire for distraction reignites a passion for a mysterious portrait she first saw as a young girlâ??a painting of a young violinist with piercing blue eyes. In her search for the painting, Sera crosses paths with William Hanoverâ??the grandson of a wealthy California real estate mogulâ??who may be the key to uncovering the hidden masterpiece. Together Sera and William slowly unravel the story behind the painting's subject: Austrian violinist Adele Von Bron. 1942: A darling of the Austrian aristocracy, talented violinist, and daughter to a high-ranking member of the Third Reich, Adele Von Bron risks everything when she begins smuggling Jews out of Vienna. In a heartbeat, her life of prosperity and privilege dissolves into a world of starvation and barbed wire. As Sera untangles the secrets behind the painting, she finds beauty in the most unlikely places: the grim concentration camps of Auschwitz and the inner recesses of her own troubled heart. "Cambron expertly weaves together multiple plotlines, timelines, and perspectives to produce a poignant tale of the power of love and faith in difficult circumstances. Those interested in stories of survival and the Holocaust, such as Eli Wiesel's Night, will want to read." â??Library Journal, starred review Stand-alone World War II historical fiction Full-length novel, approximately 115,000 words Includes discussion questions for book clubs Also available from Kristy Cambron: The Italian Ballerina, The Paris Dressmaker, The Lost Castle, The Ringmaster's Wife, and The Illusionist's ApprNo library descriptions found. |
