The Song of Hartgrove Hall by Natasha Solomons

I really liked this book. I loved the characters, the story, flow, and the history. I liked the music angle and the piano in particular. I have played piano over 40 years so this was a pleasant surprise. I liked the love triangle and the relationship with the grandfather and gifted grandson. This book captured my attention from the first words and kept me hooked until the end. Highly recommend! Given copy from First To Read for honest review.
