The novel is as "musical" as the title indicates it and as the reader is used to Kundera's writing. Despite this musicality, the novel shares an entire bitterness and sadness of someone who knows that history puts humanity to testings. And also, that none can resist these testings. Shallow loves, hate, guilt, responsibility, passionate questions and answers about the human condition, criminal thoughts; all these are combined together in this book.
