children
Despite the fact that she is only ten years old, Cristina manages her life independently. In the small German town she’s living in, nobody seems to understand her. Not even her adoptive parents are willing to recognize her special gift and devote themselves to her unbearable brother Bruno instead, while she devotes herself to her violin. But one cold morning, everything is about to change: When Cristina saves an abandoned cat, she finally gets to know new people and makes friends. With their help and the guarding angel that secretly escorts her, Cristina is finally able to discover the true story of her origin.
A passionate novel told with a poetic (and sometimes angelic) voice, in which classical music plays a leading role.
