Description
The story of two women, one European and one American, is intertwined by a mysterious choral masterpiece by Johann Sebastian Bach. In 1945, an American soldier takes a souvenir from a deserted mansion, leading to a devastating act of violence that changes his life forever. Decades later, his niece discovers the manuscript and sets out on a journey to uncover its secrets. As she delves deeper into the past, Sara Itzig Levy's story is revealed - a renowned musician who conceals the same manuscript in 1783 Berlin, amidst a city where anti-Semitism simmers beneath the surface. The manuscript becomes a haunting legacy that affects her family for generations to come. The novel seamlessly weaves together these two stories over two hundred years of history, from the eighteenth century through the Holocaust and into today.
