Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A story of exquisite distinction and vibrant interest; clear and strong as the music under the sky.” —New York Times Book Review
“It took me up and flung me beyond time and silence. All I did was listen…You’ll never be the same after Richard Llewellyn has worked his magic.” —Los Angeles Times
“A beautiful story told in words which have Welsh music in them…a book which will live in the mind and memory of its readers.” —Atlantic Monthly
“The reader emerges from these tense pages strangely aglow with sharing the happiness of the characters…The simplicity of the language and its delicately strange flavor give the book added charm.” —Chicago Tribune
“This classic story…is so compelling, especially with Ralph Cosham’s narration, that it is difficult to believe that it is pure fiction and not a memoir…[Cosham’s] mellifluous voice is a perfect fit for the story, bringing the softness and nostalgia that the writing commands and deserves. The humorous scenes are as effectively delivered as are the tragic, rounding out a performance that will stick with listeners long after they have played the last CD.” —SoundCommentary.com (starred review)
