{"product_id":"the-well-tempered-violinist-the-gift","title":"The Well-Tempered Violinist (The Gift)","description":"Marthe Adler dreams of making history as a great violinist. But in 1905 Germany, tradition and deep-seated prejudice against women musicians stand in her way. To make matters worse, her beloved father’s sudden death shatters her family’s comfortable life, pushing them to the edge of poverty.\n\nBut the violin Marthe’s father left her is a constant reminder of the profound bond between them, and it gives her the strength to begin healing. When the Köln Conservatory offers her an unexpected scholarship, she seizes her chance to reach for excellence.\n\nUnder the rigorous tutelage of Professorin Wolff, and subjected to predatory harassment by a fellow student determined to destroy both her self-worth and her chances of success, Marthe quickly learns she will need more than motivation and talent to rise to the top.\n\nFilled with heart, wit, and music, The Well-Tempered Violinist is an enduring coming-of-age tale about an artist striving for greatness against enormous odds.\n\nFor a link to a YouTube playlist of all the music described in The Well-Tempered Violinist, as well as a downloadable Book Club Discussion Kit, visit the author's website at btcarltonwriter.com.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FTVQ6MCN\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0FTVQ6MCN.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Carlton, Barbara T.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
