I love the dynamics of the book. Easy to relate to the characters. The narrator is very fun to listen to.

Loved the book

This was the fascinating story of a young piano prodigy, following her drive and obsession to become a concert pianist in spite of her parents’ opposition. How she learns to play
the music of the great masters without her own piano is the main theme throughout this story. I enjoyed the book and hated to see it end. I wish there were a sequel.
