- Summary
- Sara Itzvig Levy, the daughter of Frederick the Great's banker, counts herself among the élite of late-eighteenth-century Berlin. A gifted harpsichordist, she hones her musical talents under Wilhelm Friedmann Bach, a son of Johann Sebastian Bach. Kindred spirits, the elderly maestro and his protégée enjoy a close friendship, but their time together is running out. Friedemann's final gift to his dearest Sara is the original score of one of his father's cantatas--yet, as she reads its libretto, her gratitude turns to horror. . . In present-day New York City, Susanna Kessler enjoys a seemingly charmed life with a loving husband and a terrific job. Then a random, devastating act of violence tears it apart. Just as she's beginning to recover, her beloved Uncle Henry kills himself. He leaves behind a cryptic note alluding to his haunting World War II experiences as an Allied soldier in Germany, and to an artifact he took from the war-ravaged country before returning home. Framed by Susanna's urgent search for the truth about the disturbing musical score her uncle bequeaths to her, Sara's richly atmospheric narrative reveals the passions and politics of Enlightenment- and Romantic-era Berlin. Wealth might buy Jews an entrée into German society but, as Sara discovers, a dark anti-Semitism simmers all around her
