The Music Teacher
by Barbara Hall
Not for fun (10/8/2008)
If you want a dark, sad, certainly not typical story, then this book is for you.
I am a musician and I am sorry that some who read this may think some of these thoughts go with making music.

Pearl teaches violin lessons in a music shop/music school. It seems that everything she tries to do ends up very sad. Although she's not responsible for most happenings and is trying to help, the fault always falls on her.

I read to the end in the hope that Pearl might have a success or the story might have a conclusion.....neither happened.
