3.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Nov 11 2003
By Joy
Format:Paperback
This Anne Rice book is very imaginative, creative on different levels and aspects, and beautiful in its poetic form. Triana and Stefan are the main characters in this book. Both of them have their own problems they have to deal with, and these problems are not little by any means.

This book is very carefully written. Triana is the first you learn about, and then Stefan's fantastic history is made to light later on in the book. But each character is connected by a perfect violin throughout. Eventually, their pains in life comes full circle at the end with resolve.

Their lives are fantastic and a bit unrealistic at the same time. But that is the gem of fiction. You can make the unrealistic realistic.

Mostly, I did enjoy the inclusion of great past figures like Mozart, Salieri, and even Beethoven. Music is the link between all these characters that are included. The music of a violin.

You might enjoy Triana in all her New Orleans glory and pain, and Stefan in his ghostly state. You might enjoy the descriptive poetry and lavish sights they take you to. Then again you might love the dream state the characters involve you in. Find your love in this book and enjoy your read.

Thanks,
Joy

Anne Rice's novel, Violin, tells the story of a woman in New Orleans who is trying to deal with her past and present visions of death. Triana Becker is constantly thinking of the deaths of family and friends that she has endured throughout her life, when she is visited by a mysterious violinist. The dark mood and emotional imagery of life and memories of death mesmerizes the reader. The life of a woman dealing with death and also a new-found happiness is affected by music.

5.0 out of 5 stars keeps you guessing whats going to happen next May 12 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In life, a 19th-century Viennese aristocrat who studied the violin with Beethoven, Stefan Stefanovsky, torments Triana with her lack of talent, then transports her into his own past, where she witnesses his death and hears performances by Beethoven and Paganini. Returning to the present, Triana makes a journey to Brazil where she believes her daughter may be reincarnated.

This is a really excellent story. Once I started reading it I did not want to put it down. I could not be more impressed by a book. It was a book that dealt with all of my emotions. I was very moved by the powerful words she used. Another great thing about the book is it offers something for people of all ages. I myself am young and I couldn't enjoy a book more than I did Violin.
