Publisher's Summary
From the author of the worldwide best seller The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, a new novel about learning how to listen and how to feel and about second chances and choosing to be brave despite the odds. Because in the end, music can save us all....
It's 1988. Frank owns a music shop. It is jam-packed with records of every speed, size and genre. Classical, jazz, punk - as long as it's vinyl, he sells it. Day after day Frank finds his customers the music they need. Then into his life walks Ilse Brauchmann.
Ilse asks Frank to teach her about music. His instinct is to turn and run. And yet he is drawn to this strangely still, mysterious woman, with her pea-green coat and her eyes as black as vinyl. But Ilse is not what she seems. And Frank has old wounds that threaten to reopen and a past he will never leave behind....

Charming
This was a charming story with enjoyable themes. Was the ending a little too twee and neat? I guess it’s allowed now and then. If you are going to name composers, please get the pronunciation right. Haydn is like high dyn and Bowie like a bow in your hair. Hearing Hay den over and over grated.

I want to see the movie
I really enjoyed listening to this book. A lot to like. Full of music, simplicity, love, human frailty and innocence. Good ending - couldn’t keep a dry eye. I think it would make a great movie.

You will fall in love again
The Music Shop in Audible was fun from the start, so descriptive, tender and frustrating as the characters gave of themselves. A real delight, and it will take you to music you may not know. You will love the ending, too.

A wonderful read
Rachel Joyce weaves a delightful tale about Frank, who owns a music shop. We meet the many characters who frequent his shop and the delightful way he supports them with the vinyl he sells.

All the feels!
This was a beautiful story, though the main female character is a little hard to love the rich cast of other quirky characters makes up for her dryness.
The performance of the narrator is also wonderful and lists as the music he’s describing.
Thoroughly recommend this for the music lover, the lover, or the lost.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful.

Joyce Near-perfect
Lacking the sparkling tale and twists of " Perfect", plot draws delightful characters, humourous dialogue.
