This book was very well received by the majority of our book club. They thought it well written, easy to read with a lovely storyline and characters. The portrayal of Dan was particularly well done and showed a side of people on the spectrum which is not normally evident in literature in that he was so very kind. The rest of the group found it unrealistic and formulaic as a story and the characters apart from Dan were unlikeable and the book did not live up to the hype. The ending split opinion in the same way that the rest of the book did. Everyone found the description of harp making interesting particularly the wood involved and the different sounds it makes. The average score we gave was 6 out of 10.
