The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce
3.0

A quirky story with disparate characters coming together in a community that is struggling to survive against all the odds. The main character, Frank, owns a music shop on this run down back street and will only sell vinyl. He has a gift of knowing what music someone needs, disregarding what they like or think they want to listen to. Music as therapy.
Reminded me too much of the themes in The Little Paris Bookshop, albeit this was set in a quirky bookshop on a boat on the Seine. Spoilt it a bit for me given the similarities in themes and characters.
