Strung Along

The story of a luthier’s pursuit of love and happiness is an assured and rewarding read.

- Catherine Woulfe

Grace Atherton is a cellist whose dreams of being a professional musician were crushed by a bullying tutor. In middle age, she’s doing nicely as a luthier, but her passion is David, a married man with whom she is having a long-term affair.

David is a touch too elegant and charming; you’ll suspect early on that he’s actually an arse, but it takes two unlikely friends, an old flame and a prestigious instrument-making competition to persuade Grace of that fact. And further, to convince her that she deserves more.
