I was surprised how much I liked this book. I’m leaving a review several days from finishing it and the more I reflect, the better I thought it was. It’s a relatively slow book, but I didn’t feel like I was dragging through, but instead just enjoying it at its own pace. And then watching the horrible storytelling of the HBO series after reading, it made me realize how well-webbed this book was.

reflective

My kind of book--a tapestry of characters, a sprinkling of sci-fi, reflections on how we use art to make meaning in our lives. Really lovely stuff. Left me very grateful for modern conveniences.

My favorite book in a while. While it’s weird to read a book about a pandemic, written before the pandemic, it was a wonderfully immersive story. I loved the characters and the world building and the community of the orchestra.
