Finished

I finished "The Piano Tuner." I enjoyed the book. The descriptions of the Burman landscape were wonderful. I was impressed with the author's work in researching Burman history, and the art of piano tuning. I'll have to see if he's written anything else. The book ends very sadly. It turns out to be a story of misunderstanding. The piano tuner and the man for whom he is hired to work are accused of being spies. With a lack of modern communication and the remoteness of the jungle, there are many questions as to what the doctor is doing in his assignment. Ultimately, the very worst conclusion is drawn. I apologize for ruining the book for you. It's really worth reading though.
