"I was interested in this book because I like her playing, especially her Bach album. The story of her childhood is fascinating and explains her unconventional arrival in the piano world. She found balance in her life by pursueing her interest in wolves and finding her own way in the music world. This connected heaven to earth."
"As you might expect from a world-renowned classical pianist who lives with wolves on the side, Hélène Grimaud's life makes for a fascinating book. In her memoir, she recounts the experiences and music that inspired her on her unique journey. Most of the book focuses on her childhood as an overly energetic and defiant young woman who found an outlet and calling in playing piano. She details her passionate encounters with encouraging (and not-so- encouraging) instructors, mentors, and institutes, and she waxes eloquently about her mystical experiences discovering and playing the works of her favorite composers. Interspersed among the brief, loosely-linear chapters are segments describing folkloric and historical information about wolves. While Grimaud doesn't discuss her personal experiences creating a wolf preservation center until the very end of the book, her account of her first relationship with a wolf and her zeal for the animal are moving and vivid. Grimaud's unapologetic, zealous appetite for her rare and singular experiences comes through in her forceful, idiosyncratic prose."
"Hélène Grimaud's autobiography brings together many things which are dear to me - music, France and animals. Born in beautiful Aix-en-Provence and now living in the United States, she is a talented concert pianist who performs regularly worldwide. After discovering a particular affinity with wolves, she has created a reserve for this threatened species in upstate New York. Her story particularly resonates with me as I have an artistic daughter who, like the author, is not afraid of swimming against the stream and following her own heart. This book is well written, admirably translated by Ellen Hinsey, and has a treasured place on my bookshelf."
