Each chapter is structured around a piece of classical music - pivotal in his life and provided online - giving relief from his raw, visceral story of child rape, self harm, mental breakdown and the ongoing reverberations of trauma. His dedication to becoming a concert pianist against all odds and bringing classical music to a wider, younger audience is remarkable. I laughed and cried, often at the same time. A wonderful victory for free speech and a very brave man.
