A fascinating look at synesthesia and how it can impact people, this mix of folklore, fantasy, romance, and music pulled me in. I've seen people compare it to Ninth House, and one review compared it to The Starless Sea, which I would say is a closer comparison, especially based on vibes alone. The Piano Tuner's Song transported me to Europe and I wish I could have stayed with these characters for longer than one novel.

France is the setting for the captivating novel The Piano Tuner's Song.Karenza Grant does a fantastic job of explaining the French landscape and cities, as well as the country as a whole. I've never been there, but I had the impression that I could picture what she was talking about with ease—it was like going on a little French trip! This book is a perfect fusion of love for music and language. In your favorite recliner at home, sipping tea and enjoying French cuisine covered with the sugar frosting of love and drank with the wine of desire. Anyone who enjoys literature, history, or music and is curious about the power of love should read this book, in my opinion.

A fantasy about synesthesia, musical theory, and love. It takes a moment, not a quick read. But it builds and develops into a world and story worth knowing.

Thanks to NetGalley and L’Ours Books for an ARC of this book.

The Piano Tuner's song is a riveting book that takes place in France.Karenza Grant does an excellent job of describing the towns countryside as well as the country in general of France. Even though I've never been there, I felt as if I could easily see what she was describing like taking a small French adventure!, This book is a wonderful mixture of the love of literature and music like eating fine. French cuisine topped with the sugar icing of love and sipped with the wine of passion, while you are cozy and drinking your tea in your favorite armchair right at home . I would recommend this book to anyone who loves books, history, music and is eager to know the power of love. True love.

I really loved this book. It was beautifully written and I connected well with the characters. I never even considered putting the book down until I was at the last page. It was so good. It has become a reread for me. I will definitely buy a copy for my library

This books tied so many elements together so perfectly you felt like you got a little treat in the form of a book. You want to call this a contemporary romance, but it’s not just that. You may want to say it’s fantasy but it’s not quite that either. It’s a little hit of everything all wrapped into one. This books will appeal to any musicians. I personally don’t play music however I love to consume music. I like to listen to classical music and lay back and visualize what I’m listening to. Which ties right into synesthesia and Violette. The author turns that part of Violette’s life into the story not just simply a piece of the story but it is the story. It was so beautifully done too.

This was a very middle-of-the-road book for me. But I do know people I can recommend this book to that will love and enjoy it.

cette lecture a ête difficile, compliqué. il a été difficile à lire. il aurait été judicieux de mettre une définition de la maladie qu'ont les personnages principaux.
les personnages sont fades, pas attachants. Tout est très lent. J'ai du sauter quelques chapitres pour réussir à le finir.
Bien que ne connaissant pas l'auteur, je n'ai pas envie de lire un autre livre.

This reading was difficult, complicated. it was hard to read. it would have been wise to put a definition of the disease that the main characters have.
the characters are bland, not endearing. Everything is very slow. I had to skip a few chapters to finish it.
Although I don't know the author, I don't want to read another book.

Okay, so where do I start with this book. I mean, I read countless of books that is themed about music but somehow the concept of this book is a first for me.

[Blurb] Violette Romèu’s sense of self is slipping away. Having lost control of her ability to see sound as colour in the cacophony of Paris, the freelance designer retreats to her childhood home in the French Pyrenees. New beginnings seem possible in the peaceful mountain village, especially when she meets an old friend, a master piano tuner with a beguiling intensity impossible to resist.

FMC has a condition called synesthesia (when you experience one of your senses through another. For example, you might hear the name "Alex" and see green) Haven't heard about this at all so it intrigued me right away. As a music obsessed individual, this book evoked different levels of emotions and imagery that I feel like I have synesthesia myself.

As a whole, the book combined surreal fantasy and imaginative reality exquisitely. With the exemption of a weak character development, I can let the unusual barrage of highfalutin words pass. The incorporation of classical and modern musical theories served as the scientific explanation of the otherwise mystical allusions of the plot twists - which might be what made me sit and read this book until the end.

If you're a musician, or music lover I think you'll appreciate this book. It's a beautiful story.
It is set in France.
It has aspects of fantasy, folklore, romance, and mystery.
The main character has overwhelming synesthesia.
I really enjoyed the story, and the characters.
It was a very unique read.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

If this book was to be a colour it would be a light hue of purple, for which it is a blend of both dark red and light blue. The dark red representing the journey of danger throughout, and light blue for the brief sorrow that it brought upon me. I enjoyed this book with its beautiful descriptive lyrical narrative, the weaving of music into a story where the readers can enjoy both the notes and the words was truly a sensation to behold. I rate this book four stars for its plot, and its beautiful writing. I highly recommend reading this book, as I picked it up and read it in one setting, captivating is what it was.

The premise of this was intriguing and it definitely delivered on its promise.
At times I found the writing style a little stilted - a lot of tell and description - but the characters were interesting and the storyline kept me reading on.

I don't normally enjoy fantasy but for some reason I did this one and I really loved it!
Maybe it's because of music. I love music especially classical! I play the Viola in an orchestra so I definitely appreciated the musical aspect of it.
This new to me author has done a wonderful job in capturing some realistic moments like the subject of colours called Synesthesia. I learned quite a bit about that.
Another thing I love is the use of the 1st person point of view from Violet.
The harp is a beautiful instrument. I admire anyone who could play it.
My 2nd favorite thing was the mystery that lies behind Remey. Remey was an awesome character and my favorite.
Violet was ok and I loved her for helping Remey or trying to.
I could visualize Paris. Quite a lovely city. I've never visited but through this author I was able to. Thank you for such a wonderful read!
5 stars for a job well done! I highly recommend!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is a fantasy story that captivated me completely. It takes so many things - fantasy, French life, synesthesia, magic, music, maths, grief, friendship, love, longing - and blends them in perfect harmony. If you pick this book up be prepared to suspend your daily routine, as you will not want to stop reading until you finish reading the whole book.
