    the apple imagery and her tossing it and catching it is reminding me, completely against my will, of twilight

    As a trained musician myself, I loved the way the book talked about music and how you need that slight edge to a performance to make it truly compelling. I can’t speak personally to the themes relating to the author’s heritage, but it was clear this element of the story came from a very personal place. Very well written and compelling.
