The Song Of Names by Norman Lebrecht
Set in postwar Europe and spanning decades, the novel follows an English boy who befriends a Jewish violin prodigy who vanishes mysteriously on the eve of his London debut. Haunted by guilt and the empty space left in his life, the friend—now an adult working in the world of music—embarks on a long, obsessive search that unearths family secrets, Holocaust trauma, and unexpected truths about identity. Through a mosaic of investigation and memory, the story explores friendship, the redemptive and destructive power of music, and how the past refuses to be silenced.
