Very strange book - science fiction? Possibly. It is the story of a professional chamber music player, a pianist, who becomes pregnant with a child who was a violinist iin previous lives. The child grows for years in the womb, but is considered an imaginary pregnancy by the doctors. The child has appropriated her friend's Guarnierius, and plays it in the womb, with his mother, He plays the Bach Chaconne solo, and Beethoven's Spring sonata with his mother. The whole thing is incredibly strange, and very sad. ( )
