Why read it?
1 author picked The Cello Still Sings as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I enjoyed how the author, a musician herself, masterfully depicts the entire spectrum of human experience: joy, passion, cruelty, love, longing, endless guilt, and a sense of peace, all accompanied by thoughtful insights. Her passion for music is only matched by her longing for homemade Hungarian cuisine… a painful story told in a sensitive and aesthetic manner.
From Oren's list on individual bravery and triumph over evil during WWII.
