CindiPennsylvaniaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5The best book I've read this year!December 2, 2014CindiPennsylvaniaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5How do you write a review when a novel renders you speechless?
This incredibly well written story has been on my mind almost constantly since I started reading it. There are not many books that I could say that about, and I read a LOT.
To find out that this is the authors debut is mind blowing. Cambron has amazing talent that shows in the way she grabs your attention and pulls you deep into the storyline.
I anxiously look forward to seeing what Kristy Cambron pens next. -

NanceeGrand Rapids, MichiganAge: Over 65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Masterfully written!September 7, 2016NanceeGrand Rapids, MichiganAge: Over 65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5The Butterfly and the Violin has received numerous rave reviews and countless recommendations. I wasn't sure a book could measure up to the praise I'd seen. I have to say that this book went beyond my expectations. I was enraptured and captivated by this haunting masterpiece! My emotions were all over the place.
The story line transports the reader from present day New York to WWII Auschwitz and back throughout the novel. This parallel story is woven together by a highly desired portrait of a young woman, with only a copy of a painting, and no clues to where the original is located, or the name of the artist.
Characters are so realistically portrayed that I could feel their emotions through the written page. I lived the music as it was performed, with the rising pitches and tones of the orchestra and violinist. I can only imagine minute fragments of the agony of the Holocaust and the depression the detailing evoked.
This is one of the most compelling and haunting novels I've read, and I must say that I will be following this author's future works. I am about to begin A Sparrow in Terezin with the hope that it also evokes the emotions and passion that is revealed in The Butterfly and the Violin. I highly recommend this masterpiece! -
JessicaAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A new favorite!July 31, 2016JessicaAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Desperate for a distraction after being jilted at the alter, gallery owner Sera James becomes obsessed with finding a painting she once saw as a child. She is determined to track down the original painting.
Her search brings her to William Hanover, a wealthy man whose grandfathers estate could hold the answers she seeks. Together, they try to unravel the mystery of the woman in the painting, Austrian violinist Adele Von Bron.
Adele, the daughter of a high-ranking member of the Third Reich, risks everything to help save a Jewish family. Her world changes in an instant when she finds herself behind the barbed wire of Auschwitz.
This is one of the best novels Ive read this year. It captured my attention from the start, and never let go. Cambron makes you feel as if you are there with Adele as the story comes together. The story goes back and forth between Sera in our present time, and Adele during World War II, yet you dont feel lost. The stories are woven together so well that you dont feel jolted out of one and pulled back into another.
Ultimately, this is a Christian novel. The continuing themes are love and hope, and faith above all. This is definitely a favorite, and I can see myself reading it again.
