blueridgebookworm 's review for:

The Weight of a Piano by Chris Cander
5.0

Friend Picks - picked for me by Jon at Mr. K’s in Greenville, SC.

There were parts of this book that I didn’t like, but I loved the concept of the piano, anchoring people through time, and I really loved Clara as a character. Cander wrote something unique, complex, but beautiful.

“Music, if it was played properly, could melt the tundra.”

“With music there was too much letting go. With photography he could be greedy, acquiring the things he shot, like a collector or a pillager or a thief. The piano gave. The photographer took.”
