The Fountain Overflows

I love New York Review Book classics (NYRB).  They really know to collect the best literature of the last century.  I read this just based on the label.  It's about a family of musicians.  The talented twins are learning piano from their mother.  Their father is a gambler.  The daughter Cordelia is a violinist but she isn't very good.  She has a teacher who doesn't know any better and has her do concerts.  This book also has a touch of the supernatural. The book is around 400 pages.  I think it could have been edited a bit.  Still, I was impressed.  There were sequels.  I'll get around to them this year and next.  Rebecca West also wrote a nonfiction book I'm curious about Black Lamb and Grey Falcon. 3.5/5
