You've taken Demon to your hearts, prepare for another 'emotionally raw, riotously entertaining' read as you meet Livia.

A song without any answer in it? That's the sound of waiting.

Livia Bohusz misses her brother, Cyrus. Unmoored by his death, and the stifling silence of the family farm, eleven-year-old Livia has no choice but to survive. Her only solace: music, an escape in the quiet rapture piano practice brings. The promise of a new life her talent offers, intoxicating.

So when Livia starts her college music scholarship it feels as if a new life might begin. Immersing herself in her passions in a world where she excels, even as she struggles to fit in with more urbane classmates, she glimpses the possibilities of a life beyond the farm and her parents.

Then one springtime, as the smell of reviving grass and crocuses and the sounds of songbirds fill the air, Livia catches a glimpse of shirt sleeves rolled to the elbow, muscles you wouldn't miss in the rear view:

'Who is that man?'

It is a question Livia may come to wish she had never asked.

From one of the greatest writers alive comes Livia's story, Partita, both a coming-of-age narrative and an examination of midlife hopes and regrets, a novel as simple as love and longing, as touching, complex and finely tuned as the music it celebrates.

I never know what to expect from a Barbara Kingsolver book. All are brilliant but obviously you love some more than others. Demon Copperfield was like a punch to the stomach. This one is absolutely heart wrenchingly beautiful. Makes me want to cry even thinking about it. Loved it! Possibly my favourite book of hers so far (although.. Poisonwood Bible is a hard book to beat..)

Absolutely lovely book

This story dribbles along like water going down a drain, ending with only the slightest of gurgles and leaving nothing behind

Emotional and heartwarming

A thoroughly absorbing story weaving throughout the life of one woman. Detailing how life circumstances took her apart and how through sheer grit she pieced herself back together to live a richly different life than the one that she imagined.
I really enjoyed this new book by Barbara Kingsolver and it has stayed on my mind.

Another masterpiece

It was wonderfully written story, beautifully narrated with an underlying ache and sense of loss, sadness and at times despair. Beautifully observed and as with all her books, I’ve come away having learned so much.

Beautifully poignant
