The vibe and local color in this book are both oppressive and vibrant at the same time - the there and back again feel of the to-ing and fro-ing necessary to connect the dots and generations with what went before atop a landscape that could carry both domestic life and the dark and light history of times’ past is extraordinarily well done. If you like violins, dogs, family loyalties and intricate plots in a locale anyone would want to know more about this story’s for you.
