Finished reading The Music Shop by Rachel Joyce with a
growing sense of wonder until absolute joy of the ending
exploding in a flash mob, and it was glorious, a fairy tale
spun masterfully shining in luminous, fragile crystal glass
The story threatened to end badly any moment, I feared
the author was aiming at a sad broken heroine losing her
loved one forever because he was hurt in his youth and
rejected her too - but using a flash mob as a device, the
Author gave us a wonderful scene and a new music shop
afterwards, all about vinyl, since cassettes and CD’s have
also been destroyed by modern technology - and thus a
return to old-fashioned records was logical, but the most
Beautiful part was the author’s descriptions of her main
characters Frank and Ilse and the rest of the Unity crew,
this book restored my faith in the goodness of humanity!
