5.0 out of 5 stars It's just wonderful., March 12, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: My Son, Yo-Yo (Paperback)
It is an absolutely fantastic book. The 'making' of Yo-Yo Ma a great cellist is unveiledto the audience. Mr Ma's unrivalled achievements since his youth are beyond doubt. I find it most touching and enjoyable in the mother's memories of events surrounding the parental families in difficult times; and the conversations amongst the Mas, old and young throughout the period. It is a book of love, care and understanding that has been manifested and shared by these fine people in a tri-cultural background.
