The Piper's Son

Let's face it – I'm not going to finish this weird book. I'm totally confused: I pretty much loved [a:Marchetta's 47104 Melina Marchetta https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1277655889p2/47104.jpg] earlier novel “[b:Saving Francesca 82434 Saving Francesca Melina Marchetta https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327865374l/82434.SY75.jpg 18042740]”. It was one of the best books I've read 2019 so far. Thus, I expected to love “The Piper's Son” as well but I never got into this book. Somehow, the entire book with its plethora of characters and jumps in time falls flat for me. What I'm taking away for myself is this: Just as in music there are one-hit wonders in literature as well. To me, it seems like Marchetta is one of those – she wrote one amazing book in which she told the one great story she had to share with all of us and for that I'm grateful.
