5.0 out of 5 stars
A well- written novel, November 29, 2006
This review is from: Madame Sousatzka (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a well- written novel centering on the relationship between a devoted piano - teacher the Madame Sousatzka of the title, and a young aspiring painist. The action takes place largely in the home of Sousatzka where three other colorful characters also live. One is a 'countess' in retirement who spends most of her time sitting and looking at the world, the second is an osteopath whose theories aim to benefit mankind, and the third Jenny is a woman- of- the evening but one of special beauty and delicacy. Sousatzka herself is a woman who came to Britain as a refugee. She has developed her own system for teaching the piano , but herself doubts its efficacy.
This is a well- written novel which holds the interest throughout.
