Goldberg Variations

Our Review

For twenty-two years, the Goldberg brothers—Richard on cello, Harvey on viola, and Albert on violin—have made music together, gaining a reputation for pleasing their audiences. Richard’s sudden demise forces Harvey and Al to seek out a replacement cellist. They’re at a loss as to how to proceed, but when they hear of a female cellist who might be interested in joining their trio, they force themselves out of their comfort zone, going to where she is practicing to interview her. The young woman has a passion in her soul that makes her music soar. Will she fit into their trio? And their lives?

GOLDBERG VARIATIONS is a quick read, but sometimes that’s what you’re in the mood for. This is a story of how a young, passionate musician shakes up the staid, boring lives of two older musician brothers. She plays with more passion than their brother ever had. And both brothers soon learn what else she does with great passion. Will her seductions break up their bond? Told with Lisabet Sarai’s trademark heat, the answer will be as satisfying as it is clear.
