The Key to My Heart by Lia Louis
4.0
funny hopeful medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

One of the most tender-hearted stories of grief and second chances I've ever read. In THE KEY TO MY HEART widow Natalie Fincher is still aching the death of her husband Russ, but finds surprising solace in the unexplained sheet music left at the public piano she plays in the train station. Lia Louis has an extraordinary ability to write a character you will root for, through the pain of loss, through the relationship confrontations, through the guilt and the shame that comes with falling in love again. Full of music, and coffee shops, and a cottage outside of London that is just falling apart, THE KEY TO MY HEART will be the perfect heartfelt & cozy read this winter.
