Omschrijving
A literary quest reaching from Nazi-occupied Prague to turn-of-the-millennium New York as a young musicologist seeks to solve the mystery behind an eighteenth-century sonata manuscript
Twining music history with the political tumults of the 20th century, The Prague Sonata is a sophisticated, engrossing intellectual mystery... [Morrow's] captivating, hopeful book presents a vision of the broken past, restored.
Bradford Morrow is an astonishing writer.
A treasure of a novel, a deliciously enveloping musical mystery which I read with marvel and gusto.
Bradford Morrow is remarkable. The Real Thing, which is rare on this earthly plane.
This rich, masterful novel brilliantly explores the complex tumble of history, the human capacity for good and for evil, the fragile but redeeming glory of art. Morrow has long been one of America's finest novelists. And this humanely epic tale is his finest book.
Bradford Morrow has written his masterpiece. The Prague Sonata is a rich, joyous, complex journey into the city of Prague, the claims made upon us by music, and several dark, dark corners of human experience.
An elegant foray into music and memory.
