The Cellist of Dachau

"Music transcends war trauma in this important, aching, artful Holocaust novel." - The Toronto Star

Otto, a young cello student in Vienna, is snatched from his home and sent to the concentration camp at Dachau.

Marched from the camp to the Nazi Adjutant’s house, he is forced to play a Stradivarius cello, eyes closed, for the Adjutant’s wife.

Move forward many decades, and Otto is world famous but in retreat on the coast of Big Sur. A young woman, Rosa, turns up with questions. And her own troubled story. "Secrets connect the two strangers, ones that will change their lives."

Is it ever too late to step forward from the horrors of the Holocaust, and dare to trust again?
