Peace of Music

By: Denise Kahn

Narrated by: Denise Kahn

A once lost magnificent antique vase from China's 13th Century Song Dynasty reappears from the depths of the Mediterranean Sea where it comes to dwell on a piano in a doctor's home. It becomes the impetus in steering the lives of this doctor and his descendants through their heartbreaks, romances, and ultimately successes.

An assassination, a sabotage on a Greek island, and amazing musical performances are but some of the events that strike their lives. Spanning from 13th Century China to the present, the story takes place on four continents, with talented individuals of different nationalities and backgrounds, always interrelated by music.

Richly detailed historical novel.

This is a richly detailed story, full of interesting characters and imaginative adventures. The historical aspect alone makes this a worthwhile read, but it is also full of love, romance, and the beauty of music in the midst of the chaotic world around us.

As a history lover and a music lover, I found this a very rewarding read. At times, I felt as though I were there sharing in the experiences of the characters.

I listened to the audio version, which is narrated by the author. She did a really good job with the narration, but I think I might have enjoyed the story a bit more, had I been reading it rather than listening.

Definitely a recommended read, especially if you like historical novels.

Love This Story Line

I loved the way Denise has all of the character voices and adds music in between the chapters, for that little bit of something extra

Wonderful Listen!

A magical vase from the 13th century Song Dynasty is the catalyst for musical prowess through generations of a family. The vase "sings" with each new owner. This book was a very ambitious undertaking that spanned centuries of history, cultures and locations. I consider myself fortunate that I was able to reap the benefits of the author's efforts. I enjoyed the interconnected tales of love, romance, history and destiny. The rich historical and cultural details, along with music as the central theme, are both something that I've come to expect from the author and I was richly rewarded with this endeavor. Music truly is the universal language.

Normally, I cringe and think "Noooo!" when I see that an audiobook is being narrated by the author. Ms. Kahn is a rare exception. Not only is her writing beautiful but I have found her to be a very capable narrator as well. Peace of Music was a great listening experience and I would recommend it.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This review is my honest opinion.
