A review by mindfullibrarian
Goodbye, Paris by Anstey Harris

4.0

After owning this book for 4+ years, I FINALLY read it and I’m so happy I waited! I really do think some books find us at just the right time. After reading “Musical Chairs” by Amy Poeppel and “The Violin Conspiracy” by Brendan Slocumb, I have been increasingly open to and interested in reading about classical musicians. This book cemented that interest. I was absolutely fascinated by the process of building and restoring stringed instruments and so so appreciative that the author described this in such depth. The friendship storyline was also excellent and the flashbacks to college were necessary and provided insight. The only thing I didn’t love was the “romance” the book was built around, but I understand its purpose in the overall arc. Highly recommend to music lovers!
