Violin,is Anne Rice's richly alluring new ghost novel that
moves across the centuries to tell the story of three
charismatic figures wrapped in music. A return to the
romanticism of her first books, wild, passionate,
tormented, operatic, Violin moves from nineteenth-century
Vienna to modern New Orleans to Rio de Janiero telling the
story of three unforgettable people. The first is an
exquisite and vulnerable young woman who dreams of
becoming a great musician. The second is a brilliantly
talented and dangerously seductive violinist--a ghost--who
uses his gifts, and his magic violin, to engage and
dominate the emotions of his prey. The third who, in
essence, is always present, is the spectre of Beethoven.
The dramatic interplay of their ambitions, dreams, and
desires are the stuff of an operatic tale full of passion
and music.
