Suki Koyama, a talented English violinist, grew up in Japan from the age of four. When she returns as an adult to London, her birthplace, to pursue a musical career, she takes with her many influences from her years in Japan - the violin, classical music, poetry, writing, Zen. The two she values most are her violin playing and Zen nature, but on the brink of achieving her dream of success as a twenty-five-year-old soloist tragedy strikes and Suki fears she is losing both. A deepening relationship with enigmatic Rex Curtis intensifies her fear that her true nature is disappearing.   How will she respond?Suki tells her moving story in lyrical prose, like a concerto in three movements, to compose a stunningly original and thought-provoking meditation on a life guided by the principles of music and Zen practice.   The Zen Violinist resounds with the beauty of a work of art, the wisdom of Zen, and the complexities of love.","brand":"Cogito Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67704646238496,"sku":"9781919605357","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781919605357_3107091.jpg?v=1791455288","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-zen-violinist-diana-janney-9781919605357","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
