Gustav Perle grows up in a small town in Switzerland, where the
horrors of the Second World War seem only a distant echo. An only
child, he lives alone with Emilie, the mother he adores but who
treats him with bitter severity. He begins an intense friendship
with a Jewish boy his age, talented and mercurial Anton Zweibel, a
budding concert pianist. The novel follows Gustav's family, tracing
the roots of his mother's anti-Semitism and its impact on her son
and his beloved friend. Moving backward to the war years and the
painful repercussions of an act of conscience, and forward through
the lives and careers of the two men, one who becomes a hotel
owner, the other a concert pianist, The Gustav Sonata explores the
passionate love of childhood friendship as it is lost, transformed,
and regained over a lifetime. It is a powerful and deeply moving
addition to the beloved oeuvre of one of our greatest contemporary
novelists.
