À propos de cet audio

 GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK! • Ray McMillian is a Black classical musician on the rise—undeterred by the pressure and prejudice of the classical music world—when a shocking theft sends him on a desperate quest to recover his great-great-grandfather’s heirloom violin on the eve of the most prestigious musical competition in the world.

“I loved The Violin Conspiracy for exactly the same reasons I loved The Queen’s Gambit: a surprising, beautifully rendered underdog hero I cared about deeply and a fascinating, cutthroat world I knew nothing about—in this case, classical music.” —Chris Bohjalian, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Flight Attendant and Hour of the Witch

Growing up Black in rural North Carolina, Ray McMillian’s life is already mapped out. But Ray has a gift and a dream—he’s determined to become a world-class professional violinist, and nothing will stand in his way. Not his mother, who wants him to stop making such a racket; not the fact that he can’t afford a violin suitable to his talents; not even the racism inherent in the world of classical music.

When he discovers that his beat-up, family fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius, all his dreams suddenly seem within reach, and together, Ray and his violin take the world by storm. But on the eve of the renowned and cutthroat Tchaikovsky Competition—the Olympics of classical music—the violin is stolen, a ransom note for five million dollars left in its place. Without it, Ray feels like he's lost a piece of himself. As the competition approaches, Ray must not only reclaim his precious violin, but prove to himself—and the world—that no matter the outcome, there has always been a truly great musician within him.

Loved the story and how real life experiences of classical musicians of colour today were woven into it without making the story disjointed or choppy. The story flowed well; characters were well drawn.

Loved this!

I didn't know what to expect from this book but I was very pleasantly surprised. If you love a whodunit and/or classical music this book is a sure bet. it was very interesting and informative to hear the struggles of the main character as he faces racism and persecution even as he ascends the ladder of fame as a musician. Sad the book is over.

Really enjoyable!

This well written mystery where the main character, a black classical musician, who has a passion for classical music for which he has a real gift, faces racism and persecution but continues his career without giving up, even if his mother does not support him. I was interested in what happened to his violin.

Excellent read

I have loved classical music since I was a young teenager and opera. This book had my guessing who had taken the violin and the way the story was written was exceptional. I can't believe this was the author's first book. I didn't want it to end.

This was a fanominal book

I love stories about music and musicians, especially about violins and violin players. This story is very interesting, but a little bit unbelievable (the Stradivarius violin stolen by a viola player?). However, the struggle of an unprivileged black kid trying to play a violin, racism on every level through his life, unsupported family, and the music competitions are very well described. You can feel that the book was written by a violin player who had a such experience.

Interesting story but ...

Educating and revealing of the racism that still goes on around us. A good weekend read.

Binge style whodunit

It was disappointing. He said she said very annoying. Slow in developing the characters and the plot. Had to return the title

Couldn’t continue

The story is interesting enough, but the plot is full of holes and the writing often cliched and awkward. Oprah’s book club selection says more about “affirmative action” than the quality of this work. Shame on her!

Interesting story, very mediocre storytelling…
