A review by debi_g
Beautiful Music by Michael Zadoorian

4.0

What I admire about this book:
the strong sense of place: home, work, the music store, the car, the neighborhood
the characters, whether likable or not, fully drawn or not, are interesting
the representation of music's pure, immersive quality
the way it reminds me, in some ways, of A Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man

The book did not captivate me until I was about 70 pages into it, but I grew to become fully invested.
