Growing up in London in the aftermath of the Second World War, Ruth is a thoughtful child who finds herself in a confusing adult world. She seeks refuge in her memories of her idyllic stays with her grandparents in the picturesque countryside, which provide comforting visions of a simpler life.

As she comes to terms with her surroundings and her adolescence, Ruth finds the motivation to pursue the dream which has governed her childhood, discovering family secrets along the way.

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.
