From the author of the worldwide bestseller, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry A beautiful novel, a tonic for the soul and a complete joy to read. Joanna Cannon, author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep.1988. Frank owns a music shop. It is jampacked with records of every speed, size and genre. Classical, jazz, punk as long as its vinyl he sells it. Day after day Frank finds his customers the music they need.Then into his life walks Ilse Brauchmann.Ilse asks Frank to teach her about music. His instinct is to turn and run. And yet he is drawn to this strangely still, mysterious woman with her peagreen coat and her eyes as black as vinyl. But Ilse is not what she seems. And Frank has old wounds that threaten to reopen and a past he will never leave behind ...Hits all the right notes...a love story thats as much about the silences between words as what is said the spaces between people that can be filled with mystery, confusion and misunderstanding as well as hope."
