About this title

From the Back Cover

"[Kilroy] writes with an authority of style unexpected in a young novelist." The Evening Herald

Brilliant, fast-paced, and highly suspenseful, Tenderwire is the story of a reckless young musician's obsession with what she suspects may be a hitherto undiscovered violin created by one of the old Italian masters.
Eva Tyne leaves her native Ireland to pursue a career as a classical violinist in New York. After her solo debut, she collapses and is rushed to the hospital. Still vulnerable after the shock, she meets a mysterious man, with whom she enters into an affair filled with passion but tainted by suspicion. Upon encountering a formidably alluring violin of dubious provenance, for which the shifty dealer will accept only cash, Eva realizes she must possess it. Racked with jealously, and unsure whom she can trust, she embarks on a dangerous and chaotic odyssey that rapidly descends into a nightmare of intrigue and paranoia.
Narrated in Eva s unforgettable and unreliable voice, Tenderwireis a guessing game and a whodunit that surprises at every turn.

Claire Kilroy was born in 1973. Her first novel, All Summer, was published to great critical acclaim in the United Kingdom and was the recipient of the 2004 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature. Tenderwire is her American debut. She lives in Dublin.
