Summary
From the author of the worldwide best seller The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, a new novel about learning how to listen and how to feel and about second chances and choosing to be brave despite the odds. Because in the end, music can save us all....
It's 1988. Frank owns a music shop. It is jam-packed with records of every speed, size and genre. Classical, jazz, punk - as long as it's vinyl, he sells it. Day after day Frank finds his customers the music they need. Then into his life walks Ilse Brauchmann.
Ilse asks Frank to teach her about music. His instinct is to turn and run. And yet he is drawn to this strangely still, mysterious woman, with her pea-green coat and her eyes as black as vinyl. But Ilse is not what she seems. And Frank has old wounds that threaten to reopen and a past he will never leave behind....

Consistently lovely
This author has written three of my favourite books, and the listen has been moving and pleasurable in each case.
In this one, which is brilliantly narrated, I have googled and listened to the music too! with much enjoyment. I think there is a movie here, which I would love to see.

An Absolute Joy!
Honestly this novel is the golden nugget in Rachel Joyce's jewellery box. Funny, very touching and sooo interesting. It reminded me of music I hadn't listened to for many years and some that I had never heard of, but the passion and love expressed by these wonderful characters caused me to listen to them all with renewed interest. I felt they were all my friends and the ending....... well let me just say keep your tissue box handy.

Beautiful Story
Beautifully narrated, (what a voice!) this novel transported me back to the 80‘s, when I also cherished LPs. It carried me through all my years, at so many levels. I will recommend this book to all my old and music loving mates for sure!

Beautiful writing and characterisation - but ...
As ever, interesting, quirky characters, setting and vivid storytelling.
However, the positive ending was so impossibly unbelievable from the point which the narrative had reached, that it partially spoilt the story for me.

Quite simply a beautiful heartwarming story
A complete story wrapped up in a love of music. Not for the unsentimental. A love story which keeps us guessing til the end.
