Cute, lyrical and what a delightful set of slightly ridiculous characters. Frank is goodness personified and the way he quietly helps everyone who comes into his shop is so lovely. I'm not sure I found the overall story particularly memorable, and it feels so unnecessarily sad at one point that I really felt the injustice of how Frank and his shop ended up. But there is a scene right at the end that is so filled with joy that it made the whole thing completely worthwhile. I was grinning for the whole chapter, and wanted to leap up and applaud at one point.
A very sweet romance that brilliantly captures the personal emotions that are tied up in music.
