This is so much more than a book about pianos - it is a book about Siberia with pianos an excuse for a fascinating journey. Sophy Roberts has a very readable style as she takes us through a 19th and 20th century historical and geographical jigsaw against a backdrop of sometimes harrowing political events. The good maps and photographs help to make this a great read.
