“Anthea Kreston writes with passion and an insider’s authority about life in a world-class string quartet. In prose that some times jumps off the page, she gives us detailed descriptions of her family life, her colleagues, her individual working process, the interactions of four distinct personalities and the music that binds them onstage and off in a never-ending quest for transcendence.”

―Eugene Drucker, Emerson String Quartet, Author of The Savior
