Madame Curie’s Piano Tuner by Steven Barron is more a
story of a place as it is of the characters. The protagonist is Raymond Dover
who visits the small town of Bucksnort hoping to offer his services to a
veteran's retirement home. But upon arrival, he suffers from a mysterious form
of amnesia. After treatment he stays for a while in the city. He recounts
experiences and offers a mesmerizing portrait of a town where it is hard to
grasp its soul.
This novel is written in beguiling prose and the
narrative voice is powered by a quirkiness that reflects the quaint nature of
the town. The scenes are perfectly written and focused and an array of
compelling characters are sculpted. Bucksnort is a vividly drawn and nuanced
setting that feels like a character in its own right. Steven Barron's prose is
dazzling and filled with details. He writes with confidence, filling the scenes
with realism and exploring the inner worlds of the characters with unwonted
clarity. This immersive tale is character-driven but the author's ability to
bring life to the setting and authenticity to the characters stands out. Madame
Curie’s Piano Tuner is an evocative and spellbinding tale with scenes that
will tug endlessly at the edges of the readers' hearts.
