Sight Reading by Daphne Kalotay

4.0

The writing in this book is absolutely, perfectly lovely--like music, to use an obvious but apt comparison. The story follows three individuals over the course of several years--so it's certainly more character-driven than plot-driven. I felt a little cheated by the high stakes that the prologue sets up--once you get to the relevant part of the book, you realize that the stakes aren't really that high at all. But regardless, the writing is beautiful, and it's easy to just lazily disappear into this book and let it wash over you.
