Greek cuisine, smog and domestic drudgery was not the life Australian musician, Melody, was expecting when she married a Greek music promoter and settled in Athens, Greece. Keen to play in her new shoes, though, Melody trades her guitar for a 'proper' career and her music for motherhood. That is, until she can bear it no longer and plots a return to the stage--and the person she used to be. However, the obstacles she faces along the way are nothing compared to the tragedy that awaits.
My Review:
This is one of the best and most fastmoving books I have ever read. First of all, the language is simple and easy to read. The author did not use very complicated sentences, so it encouraged my desire to read more. As I am a musician, too, String Bridge fascinated me from the very beginning. The author achieves to mingle the reader with the story in a very successful way. For example, I was so pissed when I learned that Melody was cheated by her husband Alex that I was mad at him. Through the end of the book, I was really shocked by the events that occurred; I wasn't expecting the death; I really cried while I was reading those lines. And I felt remorse for my previous anger towards him. I just didn't like the end of the book when she remarries another man years later. If she didn't remarry, Alex and Melody's love would remain divine and magical in my opinion, but of course life is all choices...
PS: She recorded a CD for the book and sent it together; she has beautiful voice, I liked it :)
