Welcome to Litsy!

Well written and well researched. The author got most of the music parts right (a rarity) and I learned a lot about Spanish history in the early 20th century. All while being highly entertained with a good story. #readyourKobo @CBee

This book set in Spain in the years leading up to WWII is frighteningly relevant to today‘s.

Considering how long I had this book on my digital shelf, I feel it was ok.
Admitting it's ok is a hard thing to say considering how the book starts which has a very emotional and hard scene to read which can be triggering to some as it involves a tragic car accident but it feels like the rest of the book is at odds and anticlimactic not to mention has more flashbacks then present tense moments so it can feel abrupt at different times.

This was an emotional story of a music loving family who were involved in a horrific accident. In the literal spur of the moment life changes drastically for Mia. Mia is 17 years old with exciting possibilities for life. Heart wrenching and tragic and still full of love. 4/5⭐️

#CoverStories Day 29: #Music that transcends borders is what Yo Yo Ma, United Nations Messenger of Peace, creates - and this is a fantastic picturebook biography that shows exactly that. My full review including a video of Yo Yo Ma‘s historic musical performance that took place at the Rio Grande also known as the US-Mexico Border: https://wp.me/pDlzr-quq - A very timely book.

Sunday morning reading. I‘ve never read anything by Patrick Gale before… I‘m really enjoying this book. Halfway now 👍🏻❤️

And then I hear the sharp intake of his breath followed by the sound of his voice. It‘s the first time today I can truly hear him.
“Mia?” he asks.

This is the story of a near death experience, of memory, of choices. If it were you, what would you choose? And would it be for you, or for someone else?
