The Weight of a Piano by Chris Cander

5.0

---

This was a great read. It's not subtle, the book is called The Weight of Piano, and it about the physical and psychological weight of a piano as a metaphor. Despite this it is not heavy handed,perhaps because it is so well written, with characters that are likeable, flawed and interesting. I notice when I'm reading books that are clumsily written I highlight passages. there was none of that here - the dialogue is smooth flowing, the descriptions of scenery beautifully done and appropriate and the plot moves at just the right pace.

I was very happy, after I finished the book, to find out that Chris Cander has already published some other novel, which i am looking forward to reading.

I recieved this as an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
