Listen "Are Books On Your List? On Staccato"
Episode Synopsis
Sometimes there’s nothing like putting on some comfy clothes and reading a really good book. Or perhaps you know someone who loves books with stories about classical musicians. For your holiday gift giving, here are a few suggestions. Music and Silence by Rose Tremain. It’s historical fiction about a 17th century English musician in Denmark. With Bel Canto by Ann Patchett, you can read the book about an American opera singer held hostage in a South American country. There’s also the movie. There’s a mental health angle with the book: Gone: A Girl, a Violin, a Life Unstrung by Min Kym. A young violinist loses her instrument to theft and maybe her mind.
