A review by idicalini
The Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason

3.0

The writing in this novel is very evocative, as long as it stays away from these dream-like paragraphs that don't make it clear who's talking. Those parts were very annoying and I kind of skipped through them. But the descriptions of the journey to Burma, the jungle, the flowers, the smells... all those were very good, and my favourite part of the story. As for the rest - characters, plot - I thought both were a bit weak. The characters are not really fleshed out, and the plot leaves many things unclear. Perhaps a less lazy reader than myself would have a better grasp than I do on the plot, though.
