This is a great story, and I especially liked the historical part, especially where the events are set in war-time Greece. The author brought to life what one may well have skimmed over in history books. She keeps us involved with her admirable characters. If I have a slight doubt, it's just that I found four generations of world-class musicians (pianist or singers) slightly improbable. The heroes and heroines of the book were all close to perfect - good, beautiful, successful, lovable. I missed a few black sheep in the family! But it's a great read, and the events add enough drama and pathos.
