The Piano Tuner
by mojacar @ Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009 - 20:47:58

Writen by Daniel Mason. A quite extraordinary book. Very different. Set in 1886, the Piano Tuner, Edgar Drake recieves a request from the War Office for him to journey to Burma to tune a a rare Erard Grand Piano. He has all sorts of adventures on the journey and once he arrives thers.

Some of the descriptive passages are wonderful.

I know it sounds most unpromising, but it is worth seeking it out. (I got this copy from the Hospice Charity shop for 80p) Wonderful, money well spent!
