Black Waltz
ABOUT
THE BOOK
Jealousy – overpowering, beyond the reach of reason, Othello-like – is the focus of this latest work by one of Brazil’s most acclaimed writers. A successful and renowned conductor of a major symphony orchestra in São Paulo is married to a beautiful and talented violinist, close to thirty years his junior. But his happiness is undermined by two fears: that he will never wholly share her life because, unlike her, he is not Jewish; and that she is unfaithful to him. He is haunted by a voice that gnaws at his trust, his love, and, ultimately, his sanity.
