In 1962, in the Soviet Union, eight-year-old Katya is bequeathed what will become the love of her life: a Blüthner piano, on which she discovers an enriching passion for music. Yet after she marries, her husband insists the family emigrate to America - and loses her piano in the process. In 2012, in Bakersfield, California, 26-year-old Clara Lundy is burdened by the last gift her father gave her before he and her mother died in a terrible house fire: a Blüthner upright she has never learned to play. In sudden frustration, she decides to sell it.

The Key to Enjoying this Book
Revisado: 03-09-19
As a professional musician for more than sixty years, I was fascinated by the description of how this piano was made; from the picking of a certain tree all the way to completion. It took a while for me to understand there were two stories told--every other chapter, and I had to really concentrate while listening. I'm a speed reader and had this been a paper book I might have skipped over too many pages so I'm glad I bought the Audible edition. Cassandra Campbellas' voicing of characters was excellent and I was spellbound from beginning to end. Having moved my piano from house to house and up and down stairs certainly brought back some memories.
