eve_primeThe Case of Einstein's Violin, by William Sullivan. Reread; this is a fun book by a Eugene author - the same one who wrote that great journal of hiking from the coast to the Idaho border. In alternating chapters, two fictional Eugene women tell the story of their European adventure, solving the mystery of Einstein's violin case, which one of them inherited in her attic. They visit a monastery on the Greek island of Milos, Venice, Trieste, the Italian alps, a backroad through the Julian Alps in Slovenia, and the small city of Ulm in southern Germany (presumably having passed through Austria on the train in the night). It's pretty much a pell-mell adventure, but grand fun.
Sullivan organizes an author's fair as part of our annual winter holiday market and annual outdoor art-and-the-vineyard event, and I've spoken with him several times (in addition to visiting him in his study with D. as part of D's 8th grade mentorship project, when he interviewed five local novelists). At one of these events, he mentioned that his two novels about strange events in Oregon history are actually sequels to this one, with the same characters, so now I'm looking forward to reading them. I'd bought them years ago but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Yay, fun!
