SYNOPSIS

'La casa del silenci ' is a novel about women, classical music and a violin. The story takes place during a concert in Berlin: when it's about to start, the air is tense, and the presence of an old woman in the audience is making a few members of the orchestra nervous. Who is she? What is their relationship to her? A novel of many stories in one: a violin passed from one person to another, an orchestral conductor forced to live in exile, a war that divides families, the passionate relationship between rich men and their maids... Set in Spain and Germany during the 20th century, this is a family saga in which the music never repeats itself. Told from different points of view and in different voices, Blanca's style is warm, intimate, direct and full of sensitivity.
