The Novel in the Viola will satisfy lovers of the great, classic English love stories. - Manly DailyFor Mr Rosenblum’s List:‘The descriptions of England - as friend, adversary and eventually home - are exquisite. A touching, surprising and satisfying read.’ - Sadie Jones, author of The Outcast Solomon s latest novel continues her fascination with Jewish history, but throws in romance, heartache and the pathos of changing times. - Herald Sun What typifies Solomon s storytelling is her ability to mix light with dark without diminishing the conviction of either mood.
