Orfeo by Richard Powers
5.0
What to say…this may be the greatest love story ever written. Detailing not only Els’ affection for his ex-wife, his daughter, and his best friend, this book allows us to witness an epic, intense, and excruciating love affair between Peter Els and the maddening enigma that is music. Never have I read something so powerful and so lifelike. The words on these pages are a song in and of themselves, “music for the end of time.”
Recommended for every lover of music and/or fine literature; “Come, my friend, it’s not too late to seek a newer world.”
Key takeaways: “Hear, and be afraid forever.”
