What a great great

Letters to the Pianist by S.D. Mayes

I was really lucky to be asked to review this book by Librarything.com.

Setting is 1940s London and the blitz. Two daughters survive Hitler's bombing of their home- parents are buried in the rubble - presumed dead. Their father a pianist survives unbeknown to the daughters - but has had amnesia.

Years later one of the daughters thinks she recognises him in a newspaper and thus a story of dark secrets, I could not put this down.

The author has researched this part of history well and other aspects of World War II. The author writes in an atmospheric way and the reader becomes entangled in this story.

family, conspiracy and people changed by the devastation of war just part of the web weaved by the author.

The book takes the reader on a journey that gets murkier as the story moves on.

Well recommended, well written and an author to look out for.

Will be up there in the ten best sellers for Christmas 2017.
