'All my life my Stradivarius had been waiting for me, as I had been
waiting for her . . .' At 7 years old Min Kym was a prodigy, the
youngest ever pupil at the Purcell School of Music. At 11 she won
her first international prize. She worked with many violins,
waiting for the day she would play 'the one'. At 21 she found it: a
rare 1696 Stradivarius, perfectly suited to her build and
temperament. Her career soared. She recorded the Brahms concerto
and a world tour was planned. Then, in a train station cafe, her
violin was stolen. In an instant her world collapsed. She descended
into a terrifying limbo land, unable to play another note. This is
Min's extraordinary story - of a young woman staring into the void,
wondering who she was, who she had been. It is a story of isolation
and dependence, of love, loss and betrayal, and the intense, almost
human bond that a musician has with their instrument. Above all
it's a story of hope through a journey back to music. 'The hours
fell away as I read this spellbinding tale of love, loss and above
all devotion to art' - Susan Cain, author of international
bestseller Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't
Stop Talking
