It's 1988. The CD has arrived. Sales of the shiny new disks are soaring on high streets in cities across the country. Meanwhile, down a dead-end street, Frank's music shop stands small and brightly lit, jam-packed with records of every kind. It attracts the lonely, the sleepless, the adrift. There is room for everyone. Frank has a gift for finding his customers the music they need. Into this shop arrives Ilse Brauchmann - practical, brave, well-heeled. Frank falls for this curious woman who always dresses in green. But Ilse's reasons for visiting the shop are not what they seem. Frank's passion for Ilse seems as misguided as his determination to save vinyl. How can a man so in tune with other people's needs be so incapable of helping himself? And what will it take to show he loves her?

It's 1988, and Frank owns a music shop, vinyl only, if you please. CDs are taking over the record market, and the shop is in a seedy part of town. But Frank doesn't care; his heart is in music, and he has a gift of finding just the right music to help people through difficult times. One day, a woman shows up in his shop, dressed in green, and, unexpectedly, she passes out. It is Frank who helps her come to, and he finds that he has let this woman into his heart, something he never wants to do. Who is she? What are her secrets?
A magical story of music and relationships. I read the book all in one day, and part of the fun of reading the book was listening to the playlist posted online while I read it.
This was a delight to read! Be sure to check out the corresponding playlist on Spotify!
