Title: Sensitive and Elegantly Crafted Historical Fiction
Product review: "The Piano Tuner" is historical fiction written in the style of Somerset Maughm and E. M. Forster, so carefully and elegantly wrought that the reader is immediately placed in the life, locale and period of the central character, a British piano tuner whose mission is to tune the piano of an eccentric, but seemingly important officer of the British crown, who is stationed in a strategic part of Burma that is not securely controlled by Britain. There are no false or hesitant words by this accomplished and gifted writer, who at 26, has great promise. The only reason that I did not give this novel 5 stars is that the ending is surprisingly abrupt and ill conceived. Overall, a must read, however.
