    Advantages Advantages Original, empowering, entertaining

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Subtle humour so you have to search for it at times

    If ever there was an utterly bizarre yet strangely intriguing way to begin a book, this was it: mid-way through her performance at a gala concert for a royal birthday, we join our main character just as she has decided to leave her husband. Evie is a reasonable musician who, dolled up in a pretty dress and some smart red lipstick, is being marketed as cellist supreme, the greatest thing ever to hit the classical world. The tabloids love her, her estranged husband loves her and her extended family love her, but right now she's not all that fond of herself. "Sometimes I wonder if I am a truly ... more

    A fourth great book by Emily Barr. A story of a world famous cellist, Evie Silverman. Her looks help her more than her talent.

    Advantages Advantages its a page turner

    Disadvantages Disadvantages i wasnt really fond of the style it was written in

    On first impressions, i didnt think i was going to enjoy this book. I had read a few reviews of it that werent that good and i was kind of put off. The first line of the book was something like ' i am playing my cello and decide to leave my husband' , i didnt like it at all how it jumped into that all of a sudden. I hate how it was written in present tense all the time, it was quite strange and i havent read any other book that is in that style.
