Many thanks to NetGalley, Amazon Publishing and Brilliance Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by Marc Levy, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by Simon Mattacks. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
There’s nothing too unusual about a father asking his son for a favor—unless, of course, the father in question has been dead for five years. Thomas is a young, gifted pianist living a quiet life in France. He's stun ned when his late father, Raymond, suddenly appears to him. Not as a traditional ghost although no one else can see him. But Thomas is able to talk to him and listen while Raymond asks for his help.
This is a sweet story and the audiobook is easily listened to in a day. Full of magical realism and humor, it's also a poignant reminder of the important things in life, and that love endures even death. This was Thomas' chance to know his father in a new way after his parents divorce, to ask those questions, and hear of regrets. You'll laugh aloud at the hijinks that ensure when Thomas tries to fulfill his father's request.
