About This Book
The story follows a young girl who, stirred by a public concert, finds her late father's battered violin in an attic and resolves to make music despite a stern guardian's disapproval. She cleans and hides the instrument, secretly practices by night, and clings to memories and keepsakes that connect her to family and feeling. Music becomes a private refuge and a way to claim joy and identity within a household that misunderstands her longing, while the narrative gently examines childhood yearning, family tensions, and the consoling power of art.
