Music for the Third Ear

Summary: Wow, what a book!
Review: This mesmerizing book tells the interconnecting stories of a Balkan war refugee family, the Norwegian family that gives them refuge, and a childless Italian couple. You hear the stories through a number of different characters and get a real feel for each of them. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you won't be able to put the book down, and you'll never be quite the same again. This is a remarkable first novel that says, "No more war" in a simple, powerful way. As written on the book jacket of the British edition of the book, "Between the lines the reader hears echoes of how each of us struggles with our own acts of betrayal, our tenderness, our vulnerability." I can't wait for her next book!
