Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House/Ballantine Books for the opportunity to read this wonderful story by Minnie Darke - 4.5 stars!
Diana Clare is a famous pianist, engaged to Arie for years. Arie is pushing her to get married and as she leaves for a tour to Singapore and Paris, he asks her for an answer when she returns. Diana started writing a love song to let Arie know better than her words how she feels about him, but he was never able to hear the ending. In Scotland, Evie has been traveling around, not putting down ties, since she left Australia. She writes poems and ekes out a living with whatever jobs she can get. One day she hears a young couple play a song - a love song - and she can't get it out of her mind. This song travels around from person to person, opening hearts and minds, giving second chances to those that hear it.
Just a wonderfully written story - I pretty much sat and read this book in one sitting. I loved all the chance interactions between so many characters, all pulled together with one love song. Isn't that what music does to us? There was not an unlikeable character in this book - they are all charming in their own ways and you will be rooting for many happily ever afters.
