As a young cellist, Renne was hailed as potentially the greatest cellist who had ever lived, until, this is, at age 18 when he lost the gift. For the next 15 years he lost himself in teaching music until two things happened - a summons to jury service, and his agreement to teach a cello prodigy.

About the Author:

Mark Salzman is the author of Iron & Silk, an account of his two years in China; Lost in Place, a memoir; and the novels The Laughing Sutra, The Soloist, and Lying Awake.

From the Inside Flap:

Renne showed promise of becoming one of the world's greatest cellists. Now, years later, his life suddenly is altered by two events: he becomes a juror in a murder trial for the brutal killing of a Buddhist monk, and he takes on as a pupil a Korean boy whose brilliant musicianship reminds him of his own past.
