Balson has created two stories in one, or rather, a story within a story, sort of outer and inner tales — the two related in a way kept from the reader until nearly the end. The binder holds a memoir beginning in 1918 by Ada Baumgarten, child prodigy violinist and daughter of the Berlin Philharmonic concertmaster.
