A Duet for Invisible Strings by Llinos Cathryn Thomas

5.0

I was lucky enough to read an early version of this novella back in March, and both versions I read in one glorious sitting (both on the tube, weirdly enough*). It's gorgeously written and completely absorbing: Heledd and Rosemary felt like real, rounded people living in a world with depth and history to it. The magical elements are seeded beautifully, the orchestra setting is so well drawn, and the romance is lovely and very satisfying - romance often doesn't work for me, but this one really did. Highly recommended.

*ok, technically first time round I didn't quite finish it in one go, but only because my stop arrived faster than expected
