A cozy read about healing from loss, set to an expansive soundtrack. Like Harold Fry, this is about the journey. However, this one includes the group of people you find to walk with as you go.
Given the prominence of music, I think it would translate well to a multi-part series and I sort of started to cast in it my head as I read.
