The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce
Like the long-past heyday of London's Unity Street, its shops and shopkeepers are also well past their prime, their relevancy revoked in the names of progress and technology. Foremost among them is Frank, his shop jammed with an esoteric collection of vinyl records: no CDs allowed! His knowledge of music is nuanced and deep, a gift from his unconventional mother, who imparted life lessons through listening sessions devoted to everyone from Vivaldi to Miles Davis. Frank has a knack for giving his customers exactly what they're looking for, even when they don't know what that is. Aretha for a brokenhearted bridegroom; Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings for a tough tattoo artist. Frank's biggest challenge comes in the form of a frail young woman, Ilse Brauchmann, who hires him to teach her how to listen to music. Whether on foot, as in her novel The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (2012), or track by track, on this unlikely musical odyssey, Joyce (The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, 2015) excels in enveloping readers in epic journeys of lost connections and loving reunions.- Booklist
