A once lost magnificent antique vase from China's 13th Century Song Dynasty reappears from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea where it comes to dwell on a piano in a doctor's home. It becomes the impetus in steering the lives of this doctor and his descendants through their heartbreaks, romances, and ultimately successes.
An assassination, a sabotage on a Greek island, and amazing musical performances are but some of the events that strike their lives. Spanning from 13th Century China to the present, the story takes place on four continents, with talented individuals of different nationalities and backgrounds, always interrelated by music.

As a history lover and a music lover, I found this a very rewarding read. At times, I felt as though I were there sharing in the experiences of the characters.
I listened to the audio version, which is narrated by the author. She did a really good job with the narration, but I think I might have enjoyed the story a bit more, had I been reading it rather than listening.
Definitely a recommended read, especially if you like historical novels.
Richly detailed historical novel.

Normally, I cringe and think "Noooo!" when I see that an audiobook is being narrated by the author. Ms. Kahn is a rare exception. Not only is her writing beautiful but I have found her to be a very capable narrator as well. Peace of Music was a great listening experience and I would recommend it.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This review is my honest opinion.

The book begins in 13th century China when a blind potter makes a beautiful vase as a dowry for his daughter. While making the vase, he is lead by the music of Kwan Yin. The book follows the vase through its travels around the globe. This vase seems to bring out the musical abilities of its owners, including a concert pianist, an opera singer and various other characters.
The book touches on points of history, including WWI and WWII. The resilience of Greece and the Greek resistance are prominent in the book.
The main line of the story is Music and the narration is beautifully accompanied by Music especially selected for the book. This added a lot to the reading of the book.
The author/narrator did an excellent job with the various accents of the characters, which enhanced the book a lot.
Music throught the ages

It is the story a a somewhat magical vase that brings good fortune to whoever owns it throughout the ages.
I believe the author read it OK but it was a little monotone.
This was a promotional copy and this is my personal review
Good book but not my cup of tea

I typically listen to sci-fi and mystery books. And thus this book was a welcome change of pace. I didn't quite like it, probably because this is my first book of this genre. Probably if I listen to a few other books of similar kind, I might learn to appreciate this one too.
While listening to this one, it felt like I was listening to a period drama. And not the interesting kind; but artsy kind. The characters were a little unbelievable, more like seen through rose tinted glasses and conjured via wishful thinking. Some of the plot setups were unfathomable too.
The story's scope itself is grand. It spans quite some time and incorporates different cultures in the story. I liked those bits.
Good change from my usual listens.
