Beskrivning
A successful and renowned conductor of a major symphony orchestra in Sao Paulo is married to a beautiful and talented violinist, close to thirty years his junior. But his happiness is undermined by two fears: that he will never wholly share her life because, unlike her, he is not Jewish; and that she will be unfaithful to him. Jealousy - beyond the reach of reason - haunts his every moment, gnawing at his trust, his love, and ultimately his sanity. Black Waltz opens a fascinating and harrowing window into a mind bordering on paranoia and psychosis.

Recensioner i media

'A white-knuckle read' Guardian 'Melo's follow-up to the acclaimed Inferno is a cruelly focused, finely balanced and brilliantly written study. Her great achievement is to make what, on the surface, is a simple tale of a man's jealousy and mid-life doubt, into a swelling epic of grubby emotion and deep, empty despair' Sunday Herald 'The study of a man's disintegration into pathological jealousy ... her style is elastic ... the novel speeds along' Times Literary Supplement 'The terrible tale of a conductor whose jealousy of his younger wife teeters into paranoia' Evening Standard
