About this product

Product Information

The spellbinding, deeply moving story of a child prodigy and the loss of her soulmate 'All my life my Stradivarius had been waiting for me, as I had been waiting for her . . .' The thing you live for- Gone. At twenty-one, violinist prodigy Min Kym found the one - a 1696 Stradivarius. At last she had found her true voice. Together they toured the world, playing to rapt audiences. But in 2010 Min's violin was stolen at a train station - and suddenly her world collapsed. Unable to play, with little hope of ever finding the instrument that was now an extension of herself, she could see no future. Yet Min knew that the music was still inside her - if only she could rediscover what she had lost, she might just find herself . . .

Buy the book you won't be disappointed.
What an incredible story of a girl having her violin stolen; this violin was her life and as the story unfolded it brought tears to my eyes. Once I started to read I couldn't put it down. Buy the book you won't be disappointed. Now aged 74 I'm just learning to play a violin hence my interest in Min's story.

Million pound violin vanishes
Compelling and gripping read. I couldn't put it down. At times I found it hard to read because it was so emotionally catastrophic for Min Kym. One of the best books I've read in 2019
