The Piano Lesson by August Wilson
4.0
Number four of my [a:August Wilson|13944|August Wilson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1321642333p2/13944.jpg] Century Cycle (after [b:Ma Rainey's Black Bottom|516792|Ma Rainey's Black Bottom|August Wilson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1439819148l/516792._SY75_.jpg|504726], [b:Jitney|764327|Jitney|August Wilson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348042927l/764327._SY75_.jpg|750403], and [b:Fences|539282|Fences (The Century Cycle #6)|August Wilson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1481833774l/539282._SY75_.jpg|60745]) and probably the one that would most benefit from being seen over being read. I was not expecting [b:The Piano Lesson|565978|The Piano Lesson|August Wilson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1407615568l/565978._SY75_.jpg|171424] to be part ghost story & I'd love to see the ending on stage.
I was surprised how dramatic Wilson was able to make the struggle over ownership of an old family piano while creating a series of characters that I started loving and ended up hating (or vice versa).
