Simó, a music teacher, starts the school year mired in apathy and depression. The arrival of Malik, an Arab boy who wants to learn to play the violin, awakens buried memories in him: he abandoned the instrument because of what he experienced in the Auschwitz concentration camp. His wife Bella fears for his health, but Simó feels more alive than ever.
The work was published in 2005 and was awarded the Premi Saint-Exupéry. The cover bears the subtitle «la llum del far».
Intended for young readers who are beginning to approach historical memory through fiction.
