3-15-20: My 22nd finished book of 2020! #sonataformiriam #lindaolsson 🌟🌟🌟👍🏼📖#️⃣2️⃣2️⃣

Is it possible to be nostalgic for a place you‘ve never been? That is how I felt reading this book. I actually read it twice in a row because the first time around I thought I had missed things. Turns out I hadn‘t, she just leaves a lot unsaid. It took me twice through to really understand everything. Also, as a professional musician, I am always wary of books that have musician characters, but she does a great job with the musical parts!

This author understands grief in an authentic way that few authors do. This books reads slow and sad but keeps moving on. The writing is lovely but I didn't fully understand one of the main dilemmas in the novel, even though we switched to the mother's side at the end. Still well worth a read.

Another reason to love Linda Olsson.
