Tomura is startled by the sound of a piano being tuned in his school. It seeps into his soul and transports him to the forests that surround his mountain village in Japan. From that moment, he is determined to discover more. Under the tutelage of three master piano-tuners, Tomura embarks on his training, never straying too far from a single, unfathomable question: do I have what it takes? Natsu Miyashita is the bestselling winner of the Japan Booksellers Award, selected by bookshop staff as the book they most wanted to hand-sell. A Dewey Diva Pick.
