review 1: Gosh. I just did not like this book, but true to form, read every last daggone page. And in the end, after the last page, I think I said out loud, "Wait, what?". Nothing about a piano, did not like the main character, sub-plots went nowhere, other characters behaving unrealistically, and the purpose / message of the book was lost on me. A friend recommended this book to me. I need to find her and ask why! Not a book for me and not one I would recommend to others. (I know it shouldn’t bother me that no one played the piano in this book, but it does. I kept wondering….hey, when is someone going to play the upright piano??!!)
review 2: Well written, interesting characters, understated style - very English. The author is a lifelong copywriter / advertisi... moreng exec, but the book doesn't have the shallow appeal that so many writers from similar backgrounds produce. I was absorbed and enjoyed it, although the changes in timeline confused me occasionally (something I find more confusing on ebooks as it is difficult to quickly page back & forth) less
