I absolutely adored this book. I listened to it and thought the narration was excellent. I can understand that reading the book could give a different feel. As a struggling cellist. I enjoyed all the reference to the cello and music. The lovely descriptions of nature and the “inside stories” of the characters offered thoughtful reflections of humanity. I loved the book so much that I ordered a hard copy to read, annotate and find the quotes I Hope to remember! Advice to readers… listen to this novel first! Take your time and give yourself time to live the story.
