A short story about love and music and tragedy and hope and how memory is a fragile and curious thing. A beautiful and gentle perspective on how your worldview changes as you have more experiences.

A really interesting short book that circles around ideas about memory, ageing, marriage and mortality. Its structured to mirror a sonata in a way that could have felt a bit too clever, but somehow worked beautifully for me. The story-within-a-story was the least interesting part for me, but it helped to draw out some of the bigger themes that Walpert was interested in.
