Yes, it's a love story but so much more than that. Set at the end of the 19th century, we follow the fortunes of Brodie Moncur, musician and piano-tuner, as life takes him to Paris, St. Petersburg, Edinburgh and beyond. If you enjoyed Any Human Heart (bwl 59 & 63) this book should delight you with the added bonus that at the end you will feel you might be quite good at tuning a piano. I found it riveting.
