À propos de cet audio

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce, read by Steve Hartley.

From the author of the world-wide bestseller, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, a new novel about learning how to listen and how to feel; and about second chances and choosing to be brave despite the odds. Because in the end, music can save us all ...

1988. Frank owns a music shop. It is jam-packed with records of every speed, size and genre. Classical, jazz, punk – as long as it’s vinyl he sells it. Day after day Frank finds his customers the music they need.

Then into his life walks Ilse Brauchmann.

Ilse asks Frank to teach her about music. His instinct is to turn and run. And yet he is drawn to this strangely still, mysterious woman with her pea-green coat and her eyes as black as vinyl. But Ilse is not what she seems. And Frank has old wounds that threaten to re-open and a past he will never leave behind ...

Ce que les critiques en disent

Rachel Joyce tells wonderful stories. In her hands, ordinary lives are given dignity and triumph. She is a champion of humanity, and The Music Shop is no exception. It is a joyous love song that pulses with hope and benevolence and laughter. (Sarah Winman, author of When God Was a Rabbit and Tin Man)

Her speciality is writing with empathy on the quirkier aspects of life...[The Music Shop] has the feel of a summer hit: warm-hearted, unusual and romantic, with a sense of hope pervading all manner of misfortunes...

Joyce's gift is in using simple language to convey profound observations on human nature.

(Will Hodgkinson)
The Music Shop is wonderful - a tender and moving love story which captures brilliantly the healing, redemptive power of music and its ability to console, empower and reassure. I adored it. (Laura Barnett, author of The Versions of Us)
Rachel Joyce hits all the right notes with her love letter to vinyl… This is the most beautiful ode to music, community and love, that overflows with charm and warmth. (Jane Craddock)

[Joyce] writes with unquestionable charm and and with her considerable heart never far from her sleeve.

Joyce's charm and good-heartedness remain undiminished, as does her ability to create a highly appealing, semi-magical world... and to make us root for her characters all the way.

(James Walton)
Rachel Joyce deploys all her trademark charm… on a journey of redemption, of confronting the demons from the past and of healing.
I love any novel by Rachel Joyce, whose The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry was a huge success. Now she has created another Pied Piper of the heart in Frank, the proprietor of the music shop. Frank's individually chosen records can heal the soul - and this bewitching love story sings out the unique beauty of every human being, leaving you uplifted. (Bel Mooney)
A beautiful novel, a tonic for the soul and a complete joy to read. (Joanna Cannon, author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep)
Nobody writes with quite that mixture of clear eyed humanity and downright authorial mischief that Rachel Joyce brings to The Music Shop (Patrick Gale)

The Music Shop tells us that our drum beats may well be different, but we can still dance to a harmonious and funky rhythm.

Rachel Joyce is a genius with words and full of soul. This is another uplifting and utterly heart-enlarging novel.

(Bel Mooney)

I had enjoyed the print book, but was thrilled to be able to indulge in the audio version with my husband. We enriched the experience by googling the mentioned songs and listening to them as we progressed through the story.
The reader was good...hit the right tone through the book.
We highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a love story. Have tissue ready for the last chapter.

I originally read the hard copy of this book when it first came out. I thought that this book would lend itself well to an audio book. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.

I loved the story! I am a self-confessed audiophile and I found that this story about the power of love and the love of music so compelling!

Great story about the power of love and music

First and foremost, this is a love story, but not in any conventional sense. It is a wonderfully entertaining and tender homage to music, its power, and the bonds that grow among those who share it. Not only will the characters of Unity Street feel like friends, but the many wonderful musical references might even encourage you to revisit favorites or discoverer new sounds. A truly fantastic novel, especially for those who love music!

A Fantastic Story!

I’m not normally a romance fan but there is so much heart in this novel, in relation to romantic partners, friends and community. A very enjoyable, thoughtful and humorous listen
