The Yellow Bird Sings

Beautifully written and moving story. A musician or someone who loves music – especially classical or violin – will appreciate it even more than I did, I am sure, because the violin and the power of music generally is an important element woven throughout the book. I'm addicted to books about WWII, perhaps because I feel we are on the verge of something similar now and I want to learn my lesson and anticipate and prepare. This is the story of the love between mother and daughter, what we do to survive, the power and beauty of music, longing, survival, and much much more. I admit to skimming a few paragraphs off and on but in general I loved it.
