À propos de cet audio

USA Today best seller

In 1962, in the Soviet Union, eight-year-old Katya is bequeathed what will become the love of her life: a Blüthner piano, on which she discovers an enriching passion for music. Yet after she marries, her husband insists the family emigrate to America - and loses her piano in the process.

In 2012, in Bakersfield, California, 26-year-old Clara Lundy is burdened by the last gift her father gave her before he and her mother died in a terrible house fire: a Blüthner upright she has never learned to play. Now a talented and independent auto mechanic, Clara’s career is put on hold when she breaks her hand trying to move the piano, and in sudden frustration she decides to sell it. Only in discovering the identity of the buyer - and the secret history of her piano - will Clara be set free to live the life of her choosing.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Deftly plotted and well written, a gentle meditation on the healing power of art - and its limitations.... Cander grabs the reader in her bravura, thickly detailed opening pages [and] expertly parcels out her revelations [as] she builds parallel narratives [toward] an odd but beautiful finale." (Kirkus Reviews, starred)

“Elegiac and evocative.... Cander brilliantly and convincingly expresses music and visual art in her writing, capturing both within a near-alien but surprisingly stunning landscape.” (Publishers Weekly “Books of the Week”)

“Immense, intense, and imaginative.... The Weight of a Piano is about memory and identity.... Cander is a smart, deft storyteller [and] understands how something as beloved as a piano can actually be a burden.” (James Barron, The New York Times Book Review)

“Lyrical...intricate...an intriguing, serendipitous story [that offers] readers access to unique experiences.” (Carol Memmott, The Washington Post)

Les plus pertinents
The storyline does not seem seem authentic and I had a hard time relating to any of the characters - they seemed predictable stereotypes. More suitable as a high school romance novel. Too bad, the reader was excellent though. Wish I could be kinder.
