The Music Shop

I enjoyed The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce which is set in England mainly in 1988.  Frank owns a music shop which is stocked with only vinyl.  He refuses to have CDs in his shop.  Frank has an extensive knowledge of music passed to him from his mother.  He has an uncanny knack of knowing which music a customer needs to hear.  One day Ilse, a lovely woman in a green coat visiting from Austria sees the shop and Frank.  From there the story continues as Frank gives Ilse weekly "music lessons" introducing her to the classic pieces that are essential to know about.  Here is the playlist.  There are some great characters in this story.  This is another lovely book by the author who also gave us the delightful The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy.  Enjoy. 4/5
