The Piano Shop On The Left Bank
The Piano Shop On The Left Bank | T E Carhart
T. E. Carhart, an American living in Paris, is intrigued by a piano repair shop hidden down a street near his apartment. When he finally gains admittance to the secretive world of the atelier, he finds himself in an enormous glass-roofed workshop filled with dozens of pianos. His love affair with this most magical of instruments and its music is reawakened. Packed with delicate cameos of Parisians and reflections on how pianos work and their glorious history, The Piano Shop on the Left Bank is an atmospheric and absorbing journey to an older way of life.

A good book. Not one of my favourites, but one I still enjoyed.

Hi everyone! Hope you are all staying healthy and safe! I have done absolutely no physical distancing reading because I'm getting sucked into TV. 🤦🏼‍♀️ but today I got a recommended read for school in the mail and I just wanted to pop on, show my current TBR list, and check in with myself so that I can get back on track with my reading goals. 📚📖

My next read, featuring the bubble bath. 😜 This is another re-read but also part of operation declutter. I first read this in 2012. I bought it at a secondhand shop and it's held a special place in my heart because I bought this when I first lived on my own and had moved away from town. I remember struggling to get through it (😬) so we'll see how this goes. #whatiread #bookthreeof2020 #operationdeclutter #bubblebath

I liked this book about #piano(s) so much I bought a copy for my father-in-law, who was a piano rebuilder and tuner. And he liked it too. 😀 #150PnPCoverParty @LeahBergen @CrowCAH

Inside a Paris piano 'shop' - a really lovely read.

Lcsmcat I loved this book! 7y
rockpools @Lcsmcat I read most of it on holiday a couple of years back, but never finished it- which gives me the perfect excuse to go back and read it again 🙂 7y

ReadingEnvy @Notafraidofwords I just read the scene where nel meets her grandma and is entranced, much to the chagrin of her mother. 😝 7y

Recommended by the lady in the op shop today. I think it will be the perfect read for my plane trip. ✈️

A so very French story about a neighborhood piano store that requires references before you even know what they do combined with the history of pianos. Full review at http://www.spiritblog.net/the-piano-shop-on-the-left-bank/
