The Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason is a beautifully written novel that takes the reader deep into the heart of Burma. In the late 1800's, Edgar Drake, a shy, middle aged piano tuner from London is sent into the jungle in Burma to tune a piano for an eccentric army surgeon.
This is a wonderful story that had me hooked from the beginning. I was transported while reading this novel. Mason's details about music, pianos, and piano tuning are fascinating, as well as his descriptions of Burma.
A beautiful, yet sad novel. One that will linger long after the last page is turned.
