We're finally in September! I cannot wait for rainy cold days, cosy coffee shops, and moving about without sweating. Now it's my stop on The Old Familiar Places book tour by Literally PR!
Now I don't really know too much about Jazz music however after reading this book, I do want to listen to Jazz. The Old Familiar Places is about love, growth, friendships, relationships, family and loss. Each character has their own demons but with the help of friends and family (and the occasional stranger), they've overcome them.
Information about the book:
This coming-of-age novel follows the story of Sonny, and we cheer and suffer with him. In 1975 Sonny is dragged along to the funeral of family friend Freddie Wilson, music mogul and lawyer to the stars. Whilst tinkering on the grand piano in the music room in walks two bona fide legends, Charlie Watts and Syd Lawrence. They have him jamming along in no time. This sliding-doors, bittersweet moment propels him on a journey that he couldn’t have imagined, from Manchester to London to New York. Freddie’s widow Ruby pulls the levers, but can Sonny succeed?
I didn't really like Ruby at the beginning. It was when Sonny was told, "What Ruby wants Ruby gets." I thought that it was going to be a story about an inappropriate romance but that wasn't the case at all. I grew to like and understand Ruby. I loved how she played a massive part in helping Sonny's father repair his relationship with his wife and son. How Sonny helped Ruby with the loss of her husband and the life they shared.
Coming-of-age books aren't really my thing but I did really enjoy The Old Familiar Places and I hope you do too!
