Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:As a child, Renne showed promise of becoming one of the world's greatest cellists. Now, years later, his life suddenly is altered by two events: he becomes a juror in a murder trial for the brutal killing of a Buddhist monk, and he takes on as a pupil a Korean boy whose brilliant musicianship reminds him of his own past. Review:"Eloquent [and] extraordinary....This wise and gently humorous novel works with unassuming power." Chicago Tribune Review:"Most impressive...an engaging, freshly observed and utterly convincing portrait of a young man in transition." Wall Street Journal Review:"Salzman just gets better and better.... Review:"[Q]uirky and enjoyable..." Publishers Weekly Review:"[H]aunting....Salzman's handling of his weighty theme — the passing of torches as the ennobling essence of civilization — is unfailingly light and delicate: this is lovely, offbeat movie material." Kirkus Reviews Review:"The mesmerizing first-person narration reveals Renne's self-tortured character, keen intelligence, and troubled heart....A spiritual journey not to be missed."
