ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Tamar can't make sense of the world: her beloved brother has died in a car crash, her mother is in hospital suffering depression, her father has thrown himself into restoring their old farmhouse in an attempt to forget his sorrow. Even her cherished music holds no consolation. When her father discovers a hand- notated music manuscript, Tamar is drawn to the melancholy beauty of the piece. Playing it opens a window onto a former inhabitant's life - Nathaniel, who lived in the farm house when it was first built. Nathaniel becomes her lifeline, and his past holds answers for her future… A rather lyrical exploration of transcending grief, with a delicate air of mystery. Suitable for 14+ Lindy
