The marvellous Attlee takes us on the journey, through space and time, of one violin, whose voice “was powerful enough to unbuckle joints”. Cremona, Russia, Venice, Alpine forests… (Her last book, The Land Where Lemons Grow, about Italy and its citrus fruit, is a great favourite of ours and deservedly a best-seller.)
