It was an interesting review of the Longwood Symphony Orchestra, but I felt like it wasn't the most organized book ever, and that it might have had a central focus, but it also had different topics that she talked about. I read this book for one of my classes, just to put that out there. I was an interesting book, but I think that it could've been more concise with a clear purpose that was covered.

This was recommended to me by a patient. I appreciate the subject matter, but this really should have been an essay, not a book. The thematic organization wasn't clear and a lot of the stories didn't "land" in terms of emotional resonance. Could have used closer editing.
