Review- The book is told through 3 different points of view... Selda, Wolf (Selda's grandson) and Ellen (the dene of the hospice). It heavily surrounds music and a "gift" that connects those with this gift to the dead through music, though I'm still not 100% sure how this gift actually worked.
On a whole, it is a beautifully written story and very detailed. I loved Wolf's POV more than the other and the unusual way the story is told by going further back in time rather than forwards. The only complaint i have is that, at times the book was almost too wordy and over-descriptive, that some chapters became really hard to get through.
