The Weight Of A Piano by Chris Cander
Set against the backdrop of the stark and haunting landscapes of the American West, this poignant narrative weaves together the lives of two women connected by a single, majestic Blüthner piano. In 1962 Soviet Russia, a young woman named Katya inherits the piano, which becomes her solace and passion amidst the challenges of her life. Decades later, in California, Clara Lundy, a mechanic struggling with her own burdens, unexpectedly comes into possession of the same piano. As Clara embarks on a journey to uncover the piano's history, the novel explores themes of loss, identity, and the enduring power of music to bridge the past and present, ultimately leading to a profound understanding of the ties that bind us to our histories and to each other.
