An instrument finely dissected: Alisa Weilerstein lays bare the cello’s dusky entrails

Sophia Lambton became a professional classical music critic at the age of seventeen when she began to be published in Musical Opinion, Britain’s oldest magazine centred on classical music. One-and-a-half years later she embarked on a long pathway of research for an opera-related non-fiction book. In 2015 she graduated from Oxford with a 2:1 in Classics and Modern Languages. Sophia is currently working on both her non-fiction work, for which her New York agent is looking for a publisher, and the second volume of her third novel, The Crooked Little Pieces: A Story of Loves.
