I loved Rachel Joyce’s The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, as devastating heartbreaking as it was and while I haven’t read any of her other books something about The Music Shop tempted me into picking it up. And fortunately I was given an advance copy shortly after hearing about it at the Penguin Random House Fall Preview.
Set in the 1980s, the book focuses on Frank the owner of a music shop who stubbornly refuses to get with the times and stock CDs (choosing instead to continue to own deal with vinyls). Among the cast of characters are his assistant and his fellow neighbours who own various shops/businesses along the same old backstreet that has seen better days. I loved that this novel was inspired by the author's real life meeting
