Brilliant, fast-paced, and highly suspenseful, Tenderwire tells the story of a reckless young musician and her obsession with a very old violin. Eva Tyne leaves her home in Ireland for New York to play in the New Amsterdam Chamber Orchestra. She collapses after her solo debut, checks herself out of the hospital prematurely, and embarks on a chaotic and dangerous odyssey. She falls in love with a mysterious man and becomes obsessed with a rare violin of dubious provenance, for which she must pay in cash. But consumed by obsession, her pursuit of the violin becomes a nightmare of paranoia: Haunted by the ghost of her father, racked with jealousy, and unsure whom she can trust, Eva is pitched into a desperate psychological conundrum as her desires threaten to destroy her. Narrated in Eva's unforgettable and unreliable voice, Tenderwire is a guessing game and a whodunit that surprises at every turn.Binding Type: PaperbackPublisher: Mariner BooksPublished: 06/01/2006ISBN: 9780156032049Pages: 294Weight: 0.80lbsSize: 8.00h x 5.30w x 0.80dReview Citations: Publishers Weekly 04/03/2006 pg. 40Kirkus Reviews 04/01/2006 pg. 315Library Journal 04/15/2006 pg. 67Kirkus Best Books 05/01/2006 pg. 7 Show more
