This is the story of a musician who truly lives for his music, his daughter who inherits his passion, the luthier that maintains the cello they love... and the mystical cello itself that seems to have a soul of its own. It is a story of lost virginity and teenage suicidal tendencies and death - lots and lots of death, and all of its fallout on the living. It is a story of alcoholism, with some strong commentary about the effectiveness of Alcoholics Anonymous and an idea that just might work a bit better. And it is a story of the love that connects it all, that consumes it all. That makes you give... every thing you are. Very much recommended. ( ) This book was just as beautiful as the last book of hers that I read! It's a story of redemption and trials with a little bit of magical thrown in. The main characters are all tied to a beautiful, antique cello that sings to them whenever it feels ignored. (Of course, when I say "sings" with a cello, I mean just music, not words. Loa) They all have difficult and stressful trials that happen and cause them to have to find something to lean on. Of course, it always goes back to the music. I highly recommend this book for those who love contemporary and redemption stories. Also, if you love orchestral music, especially cellos, then this book will probably sing to you. This novel about a cello that seems to have a life of its own, and the people who care for it and hate it is entertaining. Not great, but a nice, escapist story. There is a lot of drunkenness, and it's melodramatic. The narrator in my Audible Escape version goes a bit over the top sometimes, so this, for me, was a light read but not very memorable. Everything You Are has everything in it, and then some. The first person narrative alternates between Braden - an alcoholic musician, Phee - a musical instrument store owner, and Allie - Braden's estranged teenage daughter. There are several side stories and many supporting characters smoothly interlaced throughout the main plot making this a meaty read. The storyline flowed and was wonderfully written, but it was so full of despair! The death, funerals, guilt, mental illness, and alcoholism that dominated the story overshadowed the music, relationships and lives of the characters. And was, at times, too much to process. Overall, it was an emotionally draining book for me, and I felt the ending was a little contrived. This beautifully written, lyrical novel is about music and family and forgiveness with a touch of magical realism. It's one of those books that you want to get to the end to see how it ends but you find yourself reading slower because you don't want it to end and you don't want to say goodbye to the characters. This book covers a range of topics along with the curse - it talks with compassion about alcoholism, infidelity, suicide and pain and most importantly forgiveness. The author shows the importance of love and forgiveness no matter what happens in life. Plus the entire novel is all wrapped up in beautiful music. This is an incredibly beautiful novel and I highly recommend it Thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
From the bestselling author of Whisper Me This comes a haunting and lyrical novel about the promises we make and the forgiveness we need when we break them. One tragic twist of fate destroyed Braden Healey's hands, his musical career, and his family. Now, unable to play, adrift in an alcoholic daze, and with only fragmented memories of his past, Braden wants desperately to escape the darkness of the last eleven years. When his ex-wife and son are killed in a car accident, Braden returns home, hoping to forge a relationship with his troubled seventeen-year-old daughter, Allie. But how can he hope to rescue her from the curse that seems to shadow his family? Ophelia "Phee" MacPhee, granddaughter of the eccentric old man who sold Braden his cello, believes the curse is real. She swore an oath to her dying grandfather that she would ensure Braden plays the cello as long as he lives. But he can't play, and as the shadows deepen and Phee finds herself falling for Braden, she'll do anything to save him. It will take a miracle of forgiveness and love to bring all three of them back to the healing power of music. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
