A review by the_fabric_of_words
The Ballad of a Broken Nose by Arne Svingen

5.0

The musicality of this book struck a chord and the story was simple but powerfully told.

There is an underlying message that also resonated with my two teens: a performing art is about performing for an audience, not necessarily an audience gathered in a hall or a concert venue.

Never be afraid to throw open a window and belt it out!
