A beautiful continuation of the first book.Though this is the second side of the story, Queenie's side. And how I an enamored with it all. The progress, the writing, the history between Harold, Queenie and even Harold's son, David. He plays such a significant role to Queenie's story, and you really ...
I started this book before I left for vacation over a week ago, and hadn't even thought of it since. I was struggling to power through it at the time, finding it very dull. So now, instead of trying to get back into it, I decided to DNF and move on to something (hopefully) better. Disappointing, ...
I was a bit skeptical about this at first. My friend, Gay, recommended it, and we don't exactly have similar tastes. However, this was actually a rather wonderful book. I expect it will have more meaning for people with some musical background. Anyway, there's a small run-down street in London, Unit...
I’ve been going on a bit of a Rachel Joyce kick of late. Her novels are so easy to read and her characters unbelievably endearing that I’ve been going through her back catalogue.

This might be my favorite read for 2018. I absolutely loved this novel. The author had a way of putting me on Unity Street with its shop owners, it’s customers and its history. I loved Frank, the way he knew his music and how he lifted individuals up with music. Frank was not a sell-out, he was a be...
The Music Shop, Rachel Joyce, author; Steven Hartley, narratorLike easy listening, when referring to music, this novel could be considered easy reading. It leaves you happy and contented, not anxious and concerned. What could be better than that? The beautiful descriptions of several famous pieces o...
German and english review Ich bin so froh, dass ich das Buch als Hörbuch angehört habe, hätte ich es gelesen hätte ich bestimmt nach den ersten 50 Seiten erst einmal aufgegeben und das Buch wieder zur Seite gelegt und ewig nicht wieder in die Hand genommen. Das ist eigentlich auch meine einzige ...
