asamandalouise 's review for:

The Weight of a Piano by Chris Cander

3.0

---

I wanted to give this book more stars, because it really was moving and beautiful, but the ending and the interactions between Clara and Greg pulled all of that down to a 3 for me. It just didn’t feel right. I didn't particularly care for any of the characters in this book--I was intrigued by the story, but with the exception of Peter, the characters didn't even have qualities I appreciated. They were just sad. The chapter from the piano's perspective was interesting, but there were also times when I felt the writing was trying too hard to be philosophical.
