A quiet beautiful story…
Revisado: 03-18-22
Alexander McCall Smith has such tender and sensitive insight into human nature. There is nothing ‘epic’ about this story…but it leaves the listener feeling connected in this web of human experience in a positive way. And the narrator is nothing short of excellent. I look for audio books to listen to while I work…ones that are positive, light but real and not saccharine, predictable or overly sentimental , and endearing. This fits the bill perfectly.

Maria Birch is 70 years old, and for her every week is the same. On Monday, she does her weekly shop. On Tuesday, she goes for a blow-dry. On Wednesday, she visits the laundrette. But Thursday is her favorite day of all - everything hurts less on a Thursday. Every Thursday Maria walks to her local café. Waiting for her at one of the red gingham-topped tables is Albie Young, a charming man with a twinkle in his eye and an impressive collection of tweed flat caps. Every week, the pair share a slice of marble cake and a pot of tea. Except one week, Albie doesn’t turn up.

Beautiful uplifting story
Revisado: 05-20-21
An absolutely wonderful novel, with such sensitive portrayal of the characters. This author must have tremendous empathy to so skillfully write a story that spans the full breadth of human pain and joy. Highly recommended!

From 1501 to 1505, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti both lived and worked in Florence. Leonardo was a charming, handsome 50-year-old at the peak of his career. Michelangelo was a temperamental sculptor in his mid-20s, desperate to make a name for himself. Michelangelo is a virtual unknown when he returns to Florence and wins the commission to carve what will become one of the most famous sculptures of all time: David.

I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this literary gem. The author knows the angst of an artist so deeply and so well! The humanity of these artists and other characters at this time in Italy puts the listener/reader right there! The narration was superb. I highly recommend it!

Revisado: 12-06-19
I have no idea what kind of talent weaves together such a beautiful story. I have listened to many audiobooks....this one left me breathless and moved....and shedding an unexpected tear: just like the story itself, which is complex, unpredictable, positive, wonderful. Thank you Susan Meissner, for your talent. Tavia Gilbert, your narration is unsurpassed. I am so uplifted and grateful for such an incredible novel and for both of you.

It is 1988. On a dead-end street in a run-down suburb there is a music shop that stands small and brightly lit, jam-packed with records of every kind. Like a beacon, the shop attracts the lonely, the sleepless, and the adrift; Frank, the shop's owner, has a way of connecting his customers with just the piece of music they need. Then, one day, into his shop comes a beautiful young woman, Ilse Brauchmann, who asks Frank to teach her about music.

A story about the TRIUMPH of goodness and love!
Revisado: 02-28-18
What a beautiful and uplifting novel!! The writing was pure poetry, lilting, rich with metaphor, but not sweet or predictable. Characters were so sensitively portrayed. And the plot inspires the reader to take the long view, believing that in the end, hope and goodness, fed by unconditional love, will prevail!! A must read!!
