This is a novel of love and loss and of the power of music to connect people. The connection weaving its way though the book is a piece of music written by concert pianist Diana Clare for her soon to be fiancé Arie Johnson. But through a twist of fate this piece of music then proceeds to weave a complicated path that effects a number of characters across the globe.
I loved how the story tracks its way back and forth between the different characters (and continents) each of them likable and relatable in their own way.
I found the way the author approached the theme of loss and how grief effects each individual very affecting. Some of the things certain characters do may at first seem strange or even shocking to some, but I feel that these actions in themselves served a sort of cathartic cleansing and a proper closure for those involved. And Belinda’s words at the end of the chapter “we have a special talent for losing people” made me tear up and hope for a miracle to bring a happy ending.
I would recommend this story to anyone who loves romantic novels, but I would also say that music lovers would enjoys this as well.
